Answer:
313.5cm²
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of model = 105pounds
Pressure applied on the scale by model = 2.16pounds per square inch
Unknown:
Area of her feet in cm² = ?
Solution:
Pressure is the force per unit area;
Pressure = [tex]\frac{Force}{Area}[/tex]
Input the parameters and solve;
2.16 = [tex]\frac{105}{Area}[/tex]
105 = 2.16 x Area
Area = [tex]\frac{105}{2.16}[/tex] = 48.6in²
We need now to convert the in² to cm²
1in² = 6.45cm²
48.6in² = 48.6 x 6.45 = 313.5cm²
