Answer:

P = 1333.33 N

Explanation:

The pressure exerted by the boy on the floor can be calculated by the following equation:

[tex]P = \frac{F}{A}[/tex]

where,

P = Pressure exerted by the boy = ?

F = Force Applied = Weight of Boy = 40 kg = 40 N (since 1 kg = 1N)

A = Area of application of force = 2(Area of one show) = 2(6 cm x 25 cm)

A = 2(0.06 m x 0.25 m) = 0.03 m²

Therefore,

[tex]P = \frac{40\ N}{0.03\ m^2}\\\\[/tex]

P = 1333.33 N
