A person with a mass of 81 kg stands on a small platform whose base is 0.25 m x 0.25 m. Determine the pressure exerted on the ground below the platform by the person.
Given: m = 81 kg; l = 0.25 m; w = 0.25 m
Assume: g = 9.81 m/s2
What will be an ideal response?
A = lw = 0.0625 m2
F = W = mg = 794.6 N
P = F/A = 12,710 Pa = 12.7 kPa
