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 0.600 cm at the bottom, what pressure does each leg exert on the floor?

A large man sits on a four-legged chair with his feet off the floor. The combined mass of the man and chair is $95.0 \mathrm{~kg}$. If the chair legs are circular and have a radius of $0.500 \mathrm{~cm}$ at the bottom, what pressure does each leg exert on the floor?
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 0.400 cm at the bottom, what pressure does each leg exert on the floor?

A 71-kg person sits on a 3.9-kg chair. Each leg of the chair makes contact with the floor in a circle that is 1.1 cm in diameter. Find the pressure exerted on the floor by each leg of the chair, assuming the weight is evenly distributed
