A man exerts a pressure of 2.8 x 103Nm-2 on the ground and has 4 x 10-2m2 of his feet in contact with the ground. The weight of the man is
A.
102N
B.
70N
C.
140N
D.
112N
Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation
Pressure = Force / Area = Weight of the man / Area of his feet
=> 2.8 x 103 = Weight of the man / 4 x 10-2
∴ Weight of the man = 2.8 x 103 x 4 x 10-2
= 112N
