Answer:

58230.08849 Pa

Explanation:

F = W = Weight of the person = 658 N

A = Area to which the force is applied = [tex]1.13\times 10^{-2}\ m^2[/tex]

When the force is divided by the area to which the force is applied we obtain the pressure

[tex]P=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{658}{1.13\times 10^{-2}}\\\Rightarrow P=58230.08849\ N/m^2=58230.08849\ Pa[/tex]

Hence, pressure the foot exerts on the floor is 58230.08849 Pa
