Problem

A person of mass

60\,\text{kg}

stands on the ground wearing shoes with a total heel tip area of

6\,\text{cm}^{2}

. Find the pressure exerted on the ground when the person stands only on the heel tips. (Take

g=9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}

.) a)

4.9\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

1.0\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

9.8\times10^{5}\,\text{Pa}

1.96\times10^{6}\,\text{Pa}
