Answer:
A total = 0.04 m²
Explanation:
given data
mass = 75 kg
area = 0.05 m²
pressure = 3 kPa
solution
pressure when human walking on ground
p = [tex]\frac{mg}{A}[/tex] .................1
p = [tex]\frac{75\times 9.81}{0.05}[/tex]
p = 14.715 kPa
and
when walk on snow got extra pressure
P total = p + p (extra) ................2
P total = 14.715 + 3 = 17.715 kPa
and
total pressure is also
p total = [tex]\frac{mg}{A}[/tex]
A total = [tex]\frac{75\times 9.81}{17.715}[/tex]
A total = 0.04 m²
