Question

A football player who weighs 550 N stands indoors wearing her football boots. The boot’s
‘blades’ (long studs) have a total area of 30 cm 2 . Only her blades are in contact with the floor.
Calculate the player’s pressure on the floor. Give the units.

Answer 1

Answer:

183333 Pa

Explanation:

The weight of the football player is : 550 N ,thus the force the player exerts on the floor is 550 N

The area of blades in contact with the floor is = 30cm² = 0.003 m²

Pressure = Force / Area

Pressure = 550 / 0.003

Pressure = 183333 Pa
