joel is running down the newly waxed school corridor and tries to slide across the floor in this rubber shoes. The thick 1.5-cm thick rubber soles each have a cross-sectional area of 0.015m^2 and are sheared with a force of 10,000 N
To find the pressure exerted on the floor by Joel's rubber shoes, we can use the formula:
Pressure = Force / Area
In this case, the force exerted by Joel's rubber shoes is 10,000 N, and the area of each shoe's sole is 0.015 m².
Now, let's plug in the values into the formula:
Pressure = 10,000 N / 0.015 m²
To calculate the pressure, divide the force by the area:
Pressure = 666,666.67 Pa
Therefore, Joel's rubber shoes exert a pressure of approximately 666,666.67 Pascals on the floor.
