How much pressure is applied to the ground

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

Pressure applied by the man= 285103.125 Pa  or 41.35 lb/in^{2}

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the perpendicular force applied per unit area.

i.e.  Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}

Now, Force= mg

where, m = mass of the body(man) = 93 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity of Earth = 9.81 m/{s^{2}}

Area covered is equal to the area of both stilts(a man generally stands on two feet)

therefore Area=2(0.04)^{2} m^{2}

and putting in the values, we get,

Pressure=\frac{93\times9.81}{2\times(0.04)^{2}}Nm^{-2}=285103.125Nm^{-2}

Now we need to convert to our required units:

1Nm^{-2}=1Pa\\1Pa=0.000145038lb/in^{2}

(We can get the above result by individually converting kg to lb and meters to inches respectively)

Using the above relations we get,

Pressure=285103.125Pa=0.000145038\times285103.125lb/in^{2}=41.35lb/in^{2}

Why does it take several minutes for the smell of a freshly cut lemon to be detectable on the opposite side of the kitchen?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
When the lemon is cut, it releases gaseous molecules into the surrounding air which are responsible for the lemon's smell. These molecules move slowly at room temperature and the distance that they must cover, in relevance to their size, is immense. These reasons contribute to the fact that the smell takes a while to reach the other side of the room.

Why are mineral bands in metamorphic rocks light and dark colored?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:Dark minerals rich in iron and magnesium separate from light minerals rich in silica and aluminum.

Explanation: Metamorphic rocks are rocks formed as a result of the transformation of other existing rocks which can be Igneous or Sedimentary rocks,this transformation process is called METAMORPHISM. During metamorphism,rocks under Serious levels of stress which can lead to the separation of materials.

During this separation process,Dark minerals rich in iron and magnesium are separated from light minerals rich in silica and aluminum.
