Answer:
(a) Pressure will be [tex]2.777pound/in^2[/tex]
(B) Pressure will be [tex]5.555pound/in^2[/tex]
Explanation:
We have given weight of the body = 200 pound
Total area of foot imprint [tex]A=72in^2[/tex]
(A) When man stands on both feet total area will be [tex]A=72in^2[/tex]
So pressure [tex]P=\frac{weight}{area}=\frac{200}{72}=2.777pound/in^2[/tex]
(B) When man stands on 1 foot
So area [tex]=\frac{72}{2}=36in^2[/tex]
Pressure [tex]P=\frac{weight}{area}=\frac{200}{36}=5.555pound/in^2[/tex]
