Given,

Radius of curvature of concave mirror = 1.6m

We know that ,

Focal length = radius/2

Hence ,

Focal length of concave mirror = radius of concave mirror /2

=> F = 1.6/2

=> F = 0.8m

Hence the focal length of concave mirror is 0.8 m

A girl weighing 50 kgf wears sandals of pencil heel of area of cross section 1 cm^2, stands on the floor.An elephant weighing 20

Answer:

$\boxed{{\boxed{\blue{ 12.5}}}}$

Explanation:

Given, for girl : Weight or force;

$\rm \: F_1 = 50 \: kgf$

Area of both heels;

$\rm \: A_1 = \; 2 ×1 \; cm^2 = 2 \: cm^2$

$\rm \: Pressure \: P_1 = \cfrac{F_1}{ A_1 } = \dfrac{50 \: kgf}{2 \: cm {}^{2} } = 25 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 1}$

For elephant, Weight = Force $\rm F_2$ = 2000 kg•f

Area of 4 feet;

$\rm \: A_2 = \; 4 \times 250 \; cm^2 = 1000 \: cm^2$

$\rm \: Pressure \: P_2 = {F_2}/{A_2} \; = \cfrac{2 \cancel{0 00 }\: kgf}{1 \cancel{000} \: cm^2} = 2 \: kgf \: { \:cm}^{- 1}$

Now;

$\rm = \dfrac{Pressure \: Exerted \: by \: the \: Girl}{Pressure \: exerted \: by \: the \: elephant}$

$= \rm \: P_1/P_2$

$\implies \rm\cfrac{25 \: kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2} }{2 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2} } = \rm\cfrac{25 \: \cancel{kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2}} }{2 \: \cancel{ kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2}} } = \boxed{12.5}$
