Answer:
The correct answer is "517.7 lb/in²".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Woman's mass,
m = 53 kg
Area,
A = 1.45 cm²
= [tex]1.45\times 10^{-4}[/tex] m²
Now,
The weight of woman will be:
⇒ [tex]W=mg[/tex]
On substituting the values, we get
⇒ [tex]=53\times 9.8[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=519.4 \ N[/tex]
Pressure will be:
⇒ [tex]P=\frac{W}{A}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=\frac{519.4}{1.45\times 10^{-4}}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=3.57\times 10^6 \ N/m^2[/tex]
or,
⇒ [tex]=3.57\times 10^6 \ Pa[/tex]
As we know,
⇒ 1 pound per sq. inch = 6895 Pascal's
hence,
⇒ [tex]P=\frac{3.57\times 10^6}{6895}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]=517.7 \ lb/in^2[/tex]
