Question

How much must a woman weigh ( force) if the pressure she exerts while standing on one foot has an area of 0.6m squared exerts a pressure of 16 Pa
​

Answer 1

Answer:

W = 9.6 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Area on 1 foot, A = 0.6 m²

Pressure, P = 16 Pa

The pressure is given by force acting per unit area. So,

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{W}{A}\\\\W=16\times 0.6\\\\W=9.6\ N$

So, the required weight is 9.6 N.
