  1. P = f/a (“Quiz” tomorrow) http://glowzenski.wikispaces.com/Worksheets+%26+Handouts

  2. 1. Calculate the pressure on a man’s foot when a woman who weighs 130 lb steps on his foot with her heel which has an area of 0.5 in2 with all her weight. 130 lb/0.5 in2 =260 psi Would that hurt?

  3. 2. Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor when an elephant who weighs 6000 lb stands on one foot which has an area of 20 in2. 6000 lb/20 in2 = 300 psi

  4. 3. Calculate the pressure exerted on the heel of a boy’s foot if the boy weighs 80 N and he lands on one heel which has an area of 16 cm2. 80 N/16 cm2 = 5 N/cm2

  5. 4. How much must a woman weigh (force) if the pressure she exerts while standing on one foot which has an area of 30 in2 exerts a pressure of 4 lb/ in2 ?. • 4 psi x 30 in2 = • 120 lbs

  6. 5. What is the area of a car tire that touches the road if the car’s weight on that tire is 700 N and the pressure exerted on the road is 12 lb / in2 ? • 700 N/12 psi = • 58.3 in2

  7. 6. Calculate the pressure exerted on an elevator floor which is 2 meters deep and 3 meters wide, if 20 people whose combined weight is 1500N are standing on it. • 1500 N/(2 m x 3 m)= • 250 Pa

  8. 7. How much pressure is exerted on a science lab desk which measures 24 inches deep and 30 inches long by the air column above it pushing down with a weight of 1,000 N. • 1000 N/ (24 in x 30 in) = • 1.4 N/in2

  9.  8. How much pressure will be exerted on a diver’s body which has an area of 500 in2, if the water column above him weighs 3,678 N? • 3678 N/500 in2 = • 7.4 N/in2
