In normal walking, it should be about equal to your weight spread over the square area of contact with the ground. Hence an 80 kg man with a 100 cm2 footprint would exert 0.8 kg/cm2 where a woman with a smaller footprint due to shoe design might exert twice this force.

A force of 40 north is exerted on a 10-kg box. what is the box's acceleration?
4 meters per second squared
Why pressure is inversely proportional to volume?
Pressure is given as Force per unit area (ie. 1 Pascal of pressure is the experienced when 1 Newton of force is exerted over an area of 1m^2). Therefore Pressure and Force are proportional to one another. Area the force is exerted over is inversely proportional to pressure.
What is pressure?
is the force exerted on a given area
How many tons are in a kilonewton?
Tons per kilonewtonOne Newton equals 0.000112 tons (short, US). So, 1000 Newtons (a kilonewton) is 0.112 tons. Another stab at itActually, a newton (N) is an SI (International System) measure of force...specifically, it is the force that produces an acceleration of 1 meter per second per second when exerted on a mass of 1 kilogram. Since weight is the downward force exerted on matter as a result of gravity, a kN of force can be equated to weight...hence, the response above. It is better to spell metric ton as 'tonne' to avoid confusion.And More...A 'tonne' is pronounced 'metric ton'; it is not written that way.A tonne contains 9.80665 kilonewtons
How does pressure help build earthquakes?
To get the Earth to move (quake), much force is needed. Pressure is force per unit area.
How called to the force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
PSI? Pressure per square Inch (or some other measurement).
Amount of force exerted per unit?
Per what kind of unit? A common unit is pressure: force per unit area.
What is the meaning of 169 pound per foot?
It is an amount of force exerted.
What is a newton meter cube per hour for?
It is a measure of how much force is exerted. It is a volumetric radiation force. It can be converted to cubic feet.
Force exerted by the weight of air?
14.7 pounds per square inch
What is the force exterted on a surface divideed by the total area over which the force is exerted?
The force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted is the pressure. Pressure = Force / Area Pascals = Newtons/ square meters Pa = N/m^2 or psi = lb/in^2 (pounds per square inch)
What is a pressurisation unit?
psi short for per square inch It is the force exerted by a thing per square inch
The amount of force that is exerted in a specified area by air is called?
Pressure is defined as force per unit area.P=F/A
If Newton per meters squared defines pressure then what is Newton per meters cubed?
Its a volumetric radiation force, meaning how much does force is exerted on unit volume. You typically see this kind of units in acoustic radiation force which results from a (nonlinear) acoustic wave pushing a part of the medium it propagates in
The measure of force with which the air molecules are pushing on a surface?
it is AIR PRESSURE
What is called when force has exerted on a area?
pressure. The units are kg/ cm2 or pounds per squar inch etc
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.
