Answer:

The pressure exerted by this man on ground

(a) if he stands on both feet is 8.17 KPa

(b) if he stands on one foot is 16.33 KPa

Explanation:

(a)

When the man stand on both feet, the weight of his body is uniformly distributed around the foot imprint of both feet. Thus, total area in this case will be:

Area = A = 2 x 480 cm²

A = 960 cm²

A = 0.096 m²

The force exerted by man on his area will be equal to his weight.

Force = F = Weight

F = mg

F = (80 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 784 N

Now, the pressure exerted by man on ground will be:

Pressure = P = F/A

P = 784 N/0.096 m²

<u>P = 8166.67 Pa = 8.17 KPa</u>

(b)

When the man stand on one foot, the weight of his body is uniformly distributed around the foot imprint of that foot only. Thus, total area in this case will be:

Area = A = 480 cm²

A = 0.048 m²

The force exerted by man on his area will be equal to his weight, in this case, as well.

Force = F = Weight

F = mg

F = (80 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 784 N

Now, the pressure exerted by man on ground will be:

Pressure = P = F/A

P = 784 N/0.048 m²

<u>P = 16333.33 Pa = 16.33 KPa</u>

bogdanovich [222]

The person that is correct based on the 2 statements from Tech A and Tech B is; Tech B

A mass flow sensor is defined as a sensor that is used to measure the mass flow rate of air entering a fuel-injected internal combustion engine and then sends a voltage that represents the airflow to the electronic control circuit.

However, for Tech A is incorrect and so the correct answer is that Tech B is right because his statement corresponds with the definition of mass flow sensor.
