Question

A large man sits on a four-legged chair with his feet off the floor. The combined mass of the man and chair is 95.0 kg. If the chair legs are circular and have a radius of 0.050 cm at the bottom, what pressure does each leg exert on the floor?

Step 1

The weight \( W \) is given by the formula: \[ W = mg \] where \( m \) is the mass and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)). Given: \[ m = 95.0 \, \text{kg} \] \[ g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \] Calculate \( W \): \[ W Show more…
