They are both the same weights
What is cone friction?
A cone in which the resultant force exerted by one flat horizontal surface on another must be located when both surfaces are at rest, as determined by the coefficient of static friction.
When does man exert greater pressure on the floor while standing or walking?
tiptoesWhen standing on tiptoe, the force exerted by your body remains the same, but is now concentrated in a smaller area. Pressure is measured in force divided by area. By reducing the area, you increase the pressure.
When is the pressure on the ground more when a man is lying or when a man is standing?
The person of mass (m) exerts the same force on the ground both standing up and lying down. This can be easily seen through Newtons Second Law ie F = ma. Knowing that pressure is defined as force over area (P = F/Area), it can be seen that the person standing up is applying more pressure to the ground.
Who exerts more pressure on the ground a women standing in running shoes a women standing in skis or a women standing in high heel shoes?
assuming they all weigh the same, they would be equal. if not, the heavier one would be exerting more pressure on the ground. if you are looking for an answer relating to pressure exerted in a specific spot, calculate it by surface area.
Who exerts more pressure on the ground -a kg women standing in high heels or a kg women standing in work boots?
High heels. The downward force in both cases is the weight of the woman. However, in high heels, the force acts on a relatively small area whereas with work boots the area is larger. As a result, the pressure is greater with high heels.Estimates suggest that a woman of average average mass, wearing stiletto heels with an area of 1 cm^2, will exert more than 10 times the pressure exerted by a 4 ton elephant standing on one foot.
Is air pressure a noun?
Yes. The term is a compound noun, and both air and pressure are nouns. Air pressure is the measure of the force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere pushing down on the Earth.
Why doesn't the pressure of the Earth's atmosphere collapse delicate surfaces on the surface such as flower petals?
Air pressure is exerted in all direction, and on both the outsides and insides of objects
In order to find the amount of pressure exerted on an object you must divide?
To find the pressure exerted on a surface (which is measured in Newtons per square metre or Pascals, both measurements being equal to convert,) you must divide the surface area of the object exerting pressure by the force applied to it in Newtons.
How are fluid pressure and buoyancy?
They both blanace each other when exerted on an object. Each side are equal to the force balanced by those matters
How are fluid pressure and buoyancy related?
They both blanace each other when exerted on an object. Each side are equal to the force balanced by those matters
A person weighs 63kg The area under one foot of the person is 180 square cm Find pressure exerted on the ground when he is standing?
63 kg = 617N 617/180 = 3.43 N/cm2 or 34 300 Pascal while standing on one foot with two significant digits (mass was given with an accuracy of two digits) 17Kpa (kiloPascal) if he is standing with both feet weight evenly distributed across the soles of his feet.
What is syphgmomanometer?
sphymomanometer is an instrument used for measuring thew bloodpressure. It is based on the the principle of pressure exerted by the column of blood on the unit area of the blood vessel . Both the systolic and diastolic pressure can be measured by this instrument.
What effect does atmospheric pressure affected have on your body?
the atmospheric pressure has no effect on our bodies in normal conditions this is because our blood is pressurised thereby equalising the force from both directions. this is why astronauts have pressurised space suits to prevent their bodies from bursting in space where the pressure is not being exerted on them.
