A person weighs 600 N. He is wearing shoes with a total area of `0.02 m^2`. What pressure do they exert on the floor?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the pressure exerted by the person on the floor, we can use the formula for pressure: **Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)** Where: - Pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa), - Force is the weight of the person, which is given as 600 N, - Area is the total area of the shoes in contact with the floor, which is given as 0.02 m². ...
