Answer:

The answer is a wedge.

Explanation:

The wedge is a combination of two inclined planes. It is used to separate bodies which are held together by large forces, e.g, splitting timber

M.A.= slant height of wedge/thickness of wedge.

Hence a long thin wedge has a higher mechanical advantage than a short thick one; or the smaller the angle theta between the slant heights, the greater the mechanical advantage.

Lena [83]

Answer:

Pressure will be $6072449.952Pa$

Explanation:

We have given mass of the women m = 65 kg

Radius of the heels r = 0.578 cm = 0.00578 m

We have to find the pressure

We know that pressure is given by

$P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{mg}{A}$

So force F = mg = 65×9.8 = 637 N

Area $A=\pi r^2=3.14\times 0.00578^2=1.049\times 10^{-4}m^2$

So pressure $p=\frac{637}{1.049\times 10^{-4}}=6072449.952Pa$
