Answer:
The girl exerts more pressure.
Explanation:
Pressure can be defined as the force exerted normally or perpendicularly per unit area.
i.e P = F/A
Girls
Area of the heel = 1cm² = 10^(-4) m²
Force = mg = 50 × 10 = 500N
Pressure =
[tex] \frac{500}{10 ^{ - 4} } [/tex]
[tex] = 5 \times {10}^{6}[/tex]
Elephant
Area = 250cm² = 2.5 x 10^(-2)b m²
Force = mg = 40000N
Pressure =
[tex] \frac{40000}{2.5 \times {10}^{ - 2} } [/tex]
[tex] = 1.6 \times {10}^{6} [/tex]
