Answer:

40000 N/m²

Explanation:

Applying,

P =  F/A................... Equation 1

Where P = Pressure, F = Force, A = Area.

From the question,

The force(F) exerted by the person's foot is thesame as it's weight.

F = W = mg............ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the person, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

P = mg/A................ Equation 3

Given: m = 60 kg, g = 10 m/s², A = 150 cm² = (150/10000) m² = 0.015 m²

Substitute these values into equation 3

P = (60×10)/0.015

P = 600/0.015

P = 40000 N/m²
