PRESSURE ON SOLID

Lets see the picture and question above:

why our foot will fell pain when we use high hells than flat shoes?

why chicken difficult to walk in mud than a

duck?

Which is more painful ?

sick !!!

Why ??
No sick !!!

Which is deeper ?

60 N

30 N

A
60 N 30 N

The more of the force, the more of pressure.

Pressure

wide of contact surface

30 N

30 N

The more of the wide contact surface, the smaller the pressure.

So.. What is pressure?

based on these explanation, the amount of pressure is influenced by : 1. Force ( F ) 2. The wide of area contact (A)( A ) We can conclude that :

Pressure is the amount of force in a unit of wide.

We can formulated pressure as :

F Pressure P A
Where P = pressure (1 N/m2 = 1 Pa) F = force (N)

A = area surface(m2)

Example

There are two women that have the same weight, that is 60N. The first woman uses a high heel shoes but this one is flat shoes. Which has bigger pressure ?

If the wide of shoes surface of A is 40 cm and B is 100 cm . How much is the pressure of each woman to the floor ?

Solution
A. Known : F = 60 N A = 40 cm = 4.10-3 m Question Answer : P --A 60 N = ----P = ? F = --B. Known : F = 60 N A = 100 cm = 1.10-2 m Question P = ?

Answer :

F P = -----A 60 N = -----------1.10-2 m
= 6000 N/m

-------

The application of pressure on solid :

-> A pointed nails has bigger pressure than the others. -> A sharp knife has bigger pressure. -> The pressure of the truck container cause the road is damaged.

Exercise

An elephant has weight 50000 N and sole of its foot is 500 cm2 . determine: a. Pressure in elephants foot if that elephant stand with one leg b. Pressure in each foot if that elephant stand with four leg
