Answer:
40000 N/m²
Explanation:
Applying,
P = F/A................... Equation 1
Where P = Pressure, F = Force, A = Area.
From the question,
The force(F) exerted by the person's foot is thesame as it's weight.
F = W = mg............ Equation 2
Where m = mass of the person, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Substitute equation 2 into equation 1
P = mg/A................ Equation 3
Given: m = 60 kg, g = 10 m/s², A = 150 cm² = (150/10000) m² = 0.015 m²
Substitute these values into equation 3
P = (60×10)/0.015
P = 600/0.015
P = 40000 N/m²
