Who exerts more pressure on the ground an elephant or a woman in spike heels?

[At the moment when only the heel rests on the ground.] Ask teams to tackle this challenge. (Stiletto heels have an area of about 1/16 of a square inch. Elephants, unlike humans, walk with two feet on the ground at a time. Each foot is about 40 square inches. Thus, the woman "wins" by far more than 1,500 psi versus 75 psi.)""Humans will only have one foot on the ground while walking. Estimate that the area of the heel on a man's shoe is 10 in2. When he walks, a 200 lb. man exerts 20 psi because the weight is supported momentarily by the heel. A 100 lb. woman exerts many more psi when she wears heels. Depending on the area of the heel, she can exert as much as 1600 psi under a 'stiletto heel' ¼ inch on a side. This explains why people with wood floors don't want women walking on them in high heels.""65kg on a surface of 2 cm2 (e.g., high heel shoes) will result in a pressure of 3 250 000 Pa (beneath the high heels, if the person is standing on the surface of planet Earth). A four ton elephant, on the other hand, standing on one foot will cause a pressure of only 250 000 Pa under that foot. As an exercise try to calculate the area of the aforementioned foot. The solution can be found in this footnote1." http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2003/JackGreen.shtml


How does the structure of a frog's ventricular wall compare to it's atrial wall?

The short Answer: The ventricles have thicker walls than the atrium simply because this is the part of the heart that does most of the pumping action by contracting. It has to be strong and fairly thick to cope with the pressure. (Ventricles have thicker walls than the atrium, which creates a higher blood pressure. The left ventricle has thicker walls because it needs to pump blood to the whole body. The wall of the left ventricle is 8-15 mm The right atrium's wall is approximately 2mm in thickness, due to the combined influence of the low pressure of this chamber and the ease of pumping to low pressure areas)

Explain how a woman weighing 500 N and wearing high-heeled shoes can exert a pressure on the floor equal to about three times the pressure exerted by a 45000-N elephant?

If she is wearing stilleto heels and all of her weight is concentrated on the small area of the heel, then the pressure per square inch can be very great. The elephant's weight is distributed over 4 feet and a much larger area (Elephants have huge feet).


Does someone wearing high heels exert more pressure then someone wearing Wellington boots?

The high heels will exert more pressure per unit area (per square inch, per square centimeter, etc.), because they distribute the weight over a smaller area of contact.


How does a gas exert pressue on the container in which it is being held?

A gas exerts pressure on the container because it is bouncing off the walls of the container at a certain force. The greater the force is the greater the pressure.


Why would a denser fluid exert stronger pressure on an object in the fluid than a less dense fluid would?

A denser fluid would exert stronger pressure on an object in the fluid than a less dense fluid would because of the pressure differences. A denser fluid would have a greater pressure difference, therefore greater buoyancy, and exerting stronger pressure on the object.

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.
