Exercise
A woman weighing 76 kg is wearing high heels to the zoo. She goes to see an elephant with a mass of 5221 kg. One of her heels has a total area of 8.4 cm2. One of the elephants feet has an area of 301 cm2.
a) Without making calculations, make an estimation of wether the elephant or the women applies a greater pressure to the ground. Write down your reasoning.
b) Calculate the pressure the women applies to the ground.
c) Calculate the pressure the elephant applies to the ground.
