You take the weight of the tank and divide it by the number of square inches that touch the floor. If you have a 400 pound tank sitting on a stand with four legs of 1 square inch each, the tank would be exerting 100 pounds per square inch. If the same tank is setting on the floor and has a footprint of 10 inches by 20 inches, it would be 2 pounds per square inch.

Why do high-heeled shoes make dents in soft floors?
All of the person's weight is concentrated into the small area of the bottom of the heel.100 pounds pressing on a heel with a 1/2 square inch area produces 200 pounds of pressure per square inch-- enough to make a dent. whereas a 200-pound man whose heels have a 6 square inch area, produces only 33 pounds per square inch against the floor.The majority of your body weight is carried by your heels. With a standard shoe it has more surface area to disipate your bodies weight over a larger area. When wearing high heels the surface area is dramatically reduced and total weight is focused on such a small point. Most floor installers will recommend not wearing pointy heeled shoes on soft composite floors.
