Calculate the average pressure at the bottom of the women’s high-heeled dress shoe and a women’s athletic walking shoe.
Answer to Problem 15P
The average pressure at the bottom of the women’s high-heeled dress shoe is
The average pressure at the bottom of the women’s athletic walking shoe is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Weight of the women is
Calculation:
The weight of the women is carried by both shoes. Hence, the weight (Force) acting on each shoe is as follows:
Sketch the profile of high-heeled dress shoe in inches as shown in Figure 1.
Refer to Figure 1.
The profile of contact area is divided into two equal parts and each part is divided into 8 trapezoids of equal heights.
Consider the area of top portion as
Apply trapezoidal rule as shown below.
Calculate the area of top portion
Calculate the area of bottom portion
Calculate the total area of high-heeled dress shoe as shown below.
Substitute
Calculate the average pressure at the bottom of high-heeled dress shoe as shown below.
Substitute
Hence, the average pressure at the bottom of the women’s high-heeled dress shoe is
Sketch the profile of athletic walking shoe in inches as shown in Figure 2.
Refer to Figure 2.
The profile of contact area is divided into two equal parts and each part is divided into 12 trapezoids of equal heights.

- Hazen Williams formula is one of the most popular friction loss formulas. Derived from flow tests performed within underground water mains around 1905 by Allen Hazen and Gardner Williams, this friction loss formula was built on the established work of Antoine de Chezy (1775) f = 4.552 x Q1.85 / C1.85 x D4.87 where: f = friction loss of 1 foot of pipe (psi/ft) Q = flowrate in gpm C = Hazen-Williams Roughness Coefficient (Higher value smoother pipe) D = Internal Diameter of Pipe (in) To obtain the total friction loss in apipe segment, this is multiplied by the pipe segment, L (ft). Q1 Segment 1 Qt Qt Q2 Segment 2 a. In the simple loop shown above, using the formula for friction factor derive the formula for Q1 as a function of total flow Qt and pipe segments L1 and L2.
