Okay, so we've got that shaquille o 'neal weighs 333 pounds, that's his mass is 335 pounds, which in kilograms is about 152 kilograms.
00:15
And he wears a size 23 shoe.
00:18
Now i had to google what the dimensions roughly are, but what i found said that the dimensions of this were roughly 38 .1 centimeters by 13 .34 centimeters, or equivalently 0 .381 meters by 0 .1334 meters.
00:41
We need it in meters and kilograms so that we can do our pressure calculation in si units.
00:48
So the pressure that he exerts on the floor is his force over the area that he puts on the floor.
00:54
So assuming that he's got both feet on the floor, the area that he's putting on the floor is just 2 times 0 .381 times 0 .1334.
01:05
And the force he's exerting on the floor is his mass, 152 kilograms times the gravitational acceleration constant, 9 .81...
