The area of a man's foot is 80 `cm^(2)`. How much pressure will the man exert on the ground, while standing, if his weight is 80 kgf?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the pressure exerted by the man on the ground while standing, we can use the formula for pressure: \[ \text{Pressure} (P) = \frac{\text{Force} (F)}{\text{Area} (A)} \] ### Step 1: Identify the given values - Weight of the man (Force, \( F \)): 80 kgf ...
