Answer:
Pressure, [tex]P=4.56\times 10^6\ Pa[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
Force exerted by woman on the floor, F = 130 pounds = 578.26 N
Radius of her heels, r = 0.25 inches = 0.00635 m
We need to find the pressure exerted by woman on the floor. We know that pressure exerted by an object is equal to the force acting per unit area. So,
[tex]P=\dfrac{F}{A}\\\\P=\dfrac{578.26 \ N}{\pi (0.00635\ m)^2}\\\\P=4.56\times 10^6\ Pa[/tex]
So, the pressure exerted by the woman on the floor is [tex]4.56\times 10^6\ Pa[/tex].
