What pressure does a boy produce on the floor, weight 35 kg if the total area of the bottom

What pressure does a boy produce on the floor, weight 35 kg if the total area of the bottom of his shoes in contact with the floor is 200 cm2.

Initial data: m (boy’s weight) = 35 kg; S (total area of the soles of the boy’s boots) = 200 cm2.

Constants: g (acceleration due to gravity) = 10 m / s2.

SI system: S = 200 cm2 = 0.02 m2.

The pressure that the boy produces on the floor is calculated by the formula: P = F / S = m * g / S.

Let’s calculate the pressure: P = 35 * 10 / 0.02 = 17,500 Pa or 17.5 kPa.

Answer: The boy puts a pressure of 17.5 kPa on the floor.
