A 70 kg man is wearing sneakers size 10 Wide, which means that the sole of his shoe is approximately 25.4 cm long and 10.2 cm wide. What average pressure does he exert on the ground if he stands on one leg?
Added by Jason M.
Step 1
Given: Mass (m) = 70 kg, Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s^2 Weight (W) = mass x gravity Weight (W) = 70 kg x 9.8 m/s^2 Weight (W) = 686 N Show more…
