Answer :

Force, F = 550N Area of contact of one shoe = 160 cm2 = 160 x 10-4 m2

Area of contact with two shoes = 160 x 2 = 320 cm2 = 320 x 10-4 m2


(a) If the girl stand on two feet, Pressure =


= 550/ 320 * 10-4


= 17187.5 N/m2


(b) If she stands on one foot, Pressure =


= 550/ 160 * 10-4


= 34375 N/m2
