Find the pressure of a leg and 2 legs that is applied to the ground by a person with an area of 1 leg 0.02065 square meters. and weighing 40.5 kg
Given:
m = 40.5 kilograms – the mass of a person;
g = 10 m / s2 – free fall acceleration;
S = 0.02065 square meters – the area of one person’s night.
It is required to determine the pressure P (Pascal) that a person produces, standing on one leg and on two legs.
Let’s find the force of gravity acting on a person:
G = m * g = 40.5 * 10 = 405 Newton.
Then the pressure on one leg will be equal to:
P = G / S = 405 / 0.02065 = 19612.6 Pascal = 19.6 kPa.
The pressure of a person on two legs will be equal to:
P1 = G / (2 * S) = 405 / (2 * 0.02065) = 405 / 0.0413 = 9806.3 Pascal = 9.8 kPa.
Answer: the pressure of a person standing on one leg is 19.6 kPa, on two legs – 9.8 kPa.
