Suppose you are standing directly behind someone who steps back and accidentally stomps on your foot with the heel of one shoe. Would you be better off if that person were (a) a large, male professional basketball player wearing sneakers or (b) a petite woman wearing spike-heeled shoes?

Respuesta :

You would be better off if that person were a large basketball player wearing sneakers.

Because the player's weight is distributed through a larger area, hence it exerts small pressure whereas the woman's weight is distributed over the spiked heel and this creates huge pressure.

what is pressure?

Pressure is characterized as the physical force applied to an object. The force applied is opposite to the surface of objects per unit area. The essential equation for weight is Force/Area.

The SI unit of pressure  is ‘pascals (Pa)’. 1 Pa = 1N/m2

Types of Pressure

Atmospheric Pressure

Absolute Pressure

Differential Pressure
