Chapter 12, Problem 26SP
The sole of a man’s size-10 shoe is around 11.0 in. by 4.00 in. Determine the gauge pressure under the feet of a 200-lb man standing upright. Give your answer in both lb/in.2 and Pa. [Hint: 1.00 lb/in2 = 6895 Pa. Check your work using 1.00 in.2 = 6.45 × 10–4 m2 and 1.00 lb = 4.448 N.]
