QUESTION:
Calculate the average pressure exerted on the palm of a shot-putter’s hand by the shot if the area of contact is 50.0 cm2 and he exerts a force of 800 N on it. Express the pressure in N/m2 and compare it with the 1.00×106 Pa pressures sometimes encountered in the skeletal system.
ANSWER:Step-by-step solution Step 1 of 4 It is suggested that increase the area to reduce the value of pressure for a specific force. There is an inverse relation exists between pressure and area if applied force is constant.
