As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarily placed on one heel of her high-heeled shoes. Calculate the pressure exerted on the floor by the heel if it has an area of 1.35 cm? and the woman's mass is 56.5 kg. Express the pressure in pascals. (In the early days of commercial flight, women were not allowed to wear high-heeled shoes because aircraft floors were too thin to withstand such large pressures.)

Problem 4: Speed deamplifier. In the figure above on the right, block 1 of mass m1 slides along an x-axis on a frictionless floor at speed 4 m/sec.Then it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 2 of mass m2 = 2m1. Next, block 2 undergoes a one-dimensional elastic collision with stationary block 3 of mass mz = 4m1. What then is the speed of block 3? Answer: 16 m/sec or 1.78 m/sec.
