What is the pressure exerted by a woman weighing 500 N standing on one heel of area of `1cm^2` ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Force exerted by the woman = her weight = 500N
Area on the which force acts = `1cm^2 = (1/100 m)^2`
` = 1/1000 m^2`
Pressure = Force/area ` = (500N)/(1/10000 m^2) `
` = 500 xx 10000 Nm^(-2) = 5 xx 10^6 Nm^(-2)`
