P = k/w^2 

<span>first of all you need to find k </span>
<span>But I kind of don't like the units of each value so let say </span>
<span>400KPa = 4 * 10^5 Pa = 4 * 10^5 N/m^2 </span>
<span>2 cm = 2 * 10^-2 m </span>

<span>input values in the equation </span>

<span>4*10^5 = k/(4*10^-4) >>> k = 160 N </span>

<span>P = 160/w^2 </span>
<span>it said if she wears a heel with a width of .5 cm </span>

<span>P = 160(0.5 * 10^-2)^2 >>> P = 6400 KPa</span>
