What pressure does a 70 kg person produce on the floor with the area of his soles equal to 500 cm ^ 2?

Initial data: m (human weight) = 70 kg; S (area of two soles of a person’s shoes) = 500 cm2 (500 * 10-4 m2).

Reference data: g (acceleration due to gravity) = 9.8 m / s2.

The pressure that a person will produce on the floor can be calculated by dividing the force of gravity acting on him by the area of the soles: P = Fт / S = m * g / S.

Calculation: P = 70 * 9.8 / (500 * 10-4) = 13 720 Pa.

Answer: A person exerts a pressure of 13 720 Pa on the floor.
