MOD8 HW4: As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarilyplaced on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. This creates quite alarge pressure on the ground; in fact, in the early days ofcommercial flight, women were not allowed to wear high-heeled shoesbecause aircraft floors were too thin to withstand such largepressures.
Calculate the pressure, in pounds per square inch, exerted onthe floor by the heel if it has an area of 1.55 cm2 andthe woman’s mass is 59 kg.
