A person wearing the shoes has a mass of 51 kg .

\

Part A

\

Estimate the pressure exerted on a floor by one pointed heel of area 0.45 cm^2.

\

\

\

Part B

\

Estimate the pressure exerted on a floor by one wide heel of area 16 cm^2.c

\

\

\

\

(a)

\

The mass of the person is 51 kg.

\

Area of the pointed heal is $\"\"$

\

Pressure is defined as force per unit area.

\

$\"\"$

\

Force acting on the floor is $\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

Pressure exerted on the floor due to two pointed heels is $\"\"$

\

Therefore, pressure exerted on the floor due to one pointed heel is half of the total pressure.
