According to the second Newton's law the force exerted on the floor is
F = Mg = 250[p]*9.8[m/s²] = 113.4[kg]*9.8[m/s²] = 1111.3[N].
The pressure is
P = 1111.3[N]/37.20[in²] = 1111.3[N]/240.0[cm²] = 4.6[P].
Numbers and figures are an essential part of our world, necessary for almost everything we do every day. As important…
