ADVANTAGE
PEOPLE USED CERTAIN UNIT OF MEASUREMENT IN THEIR SPECIFIC REGION WHICH IS NOT ACCEPTED BY WORLD IN CGS SYSTEM.CGS UNIT MADE
DIFFICULTY IN TRADE. LATER SI UNIT OF MEASUREMENT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED IN 1960 AD TO BRING THE uniformity IN measurement throughout THE WORLD. SI SYSTEM MADE THE MEASURENT AROUND WORLD MORE EFFECTIVE AND LESS COFUSING THAN CGS UNIT.
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
