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.


Why is the pressure on the ground more when a man is walking than when he is standingn?

when a man is standing on ground all his weight is in downward direction and pressure is the force divided by area as force is maximum and area is minimum so pressure will be more when he is standing


What is the equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing on the beach?

The equal and opposite force to the downward force of gravity pulling on a man standing on the beach is the normal force exerted by the ground pushing back up on the man. This normal force prevents the man from sinking into the ground due to the force of gravity.


What is the pressure if a man weighing 600N and wears a shoe of total area of 0.02meter square?

Pressure is defined as force per unit area. In this case, the pressure exerted by the man wearing the shoe would be 600N divided by 0.02m^2, which is 30,000 pascals (Pa).


What is the force of gravity on a 500N man stading on the earth's surface?

If the bathroom scale reads 500N when the man stands on it, then that's a clear indication that the force of gravity between the man and the Earth is 500N. That number is referred to as the man's "weight" on Earth. It's also the Earth's weight on the man.

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?

There is more pressure when the man is standing, since pressure is the amount of force acting on a certain area and is calculated by dividing the force by the area. When a man is standing, the area of contact with the ground is less than the area of contact when lying down. Since his weight is constant, there is more pressure when he is standing.

IT is observed that the total pressure exerted by air on the man of average size is around 14.7 lb wt per square inch But the man feels quite comfortable It is because of?

It's because that man, (just like any other man, woman or child), has had that same pressure (plus or minus 2%) on him or her since he was born. In fact, take that pressure away from a patch of skin and what you get is a love bite (aka hickey).


Can man live on the core of the Earth?

No. The core of Earth is heated to thousands of degrees and is under millions of times the pressure exerted by air at sea level.


Could a woman of average size crush a man to death just by standing on him?

It is highly unlikely for a woman of average size to crush a man to death simply by standing on him. The amount of force required to cause such significant harm would not typically be exerted through this kind of interaction.


What effect does a fast moving train have on a man standing near it?

the man falls towards the train because the stream lines of air near train are closer greating more pressure where as stream lines naer man are farther creating low presssure thus the man moves from the area of low pressure to that of high pressure.
