A 50 kg. girl wearing high heel shoes balance on a single heel. The heel is circular with a diameter 1 cm. what is the pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Here, `m=50kg`, `r=(D)/(2)=(1)/(2)cm=(1)/(200)m`
Pressure `=("force")/("area")=(mg)/(pir^(2))`
`=(50xx9.8)/((22//7)xx(1//20)^(2))=6.24xx10^(6)Nm^(-2)`
