How much pressure is applied to the ground by a 108 kg man who is standing on square stilts that measure 0.06 m on each edge?
Auswer in units of Pa. Answer in units of Pa.
To calculate the pressure applied to the ground by the man standing on stilts, we first need to calculate the area of the bottom of the stilts.
Area = side length^2
Area = (0.06 m)^2
Area = 0.0036 m^2
Next, we calculate the force exerted by the man on the stilts using the formula:
Force = mass x gravity
Force = 108 kg x 9.81 m/s^2
Force = 1059.48 N
Finally, we calculate the pressure using the formula:
Pressure = Force / Area
Pressure = 1059.48 N / 0.0036 m^2
Pressure = 294277.78 Pa
Therefore, the pressure applied to the ground by the 108 kg man standing on square stilts measuring 0.06 m on each edge is 294277.78 Pa.
