Calculate the pressure exerted the elephant’s foot the floor,
assuming the acceleration due gravity 9. Pressure stress measure of
the force per unit area.81m/s2
. This because her mass exerts force over much smaller area
than the elephant’s foot and the reason why many wooden dance floors are damaged by
high-heeled shoes.
● ‘Shearing force’is the force which
moves one face material over
another. Heavy breathing and perspiration would evidence the work done.
● ‘Gravitational force’is the force
acting towards the centre the
earth due the effect gravity.
● ‘Electrical force’ the force created electrical field.
● ‘Gravitational force’ the force acting towards the centre the
earth due the effect gravity.
●
‘Electrical force’is the force created
by electrical field.
● ‘Compressive force’is the force
pushing things together.
● ‘Magnetic force’ the force created magnetic field.
Work done
Suppose broken-down motor car was pushed along road, work
would done the car applying the force necessary move along the
road. Calculate the pressure exerted the shoe the floor (assuming the
acceleration due gravity 9. hands would apply pressure the body
panel the point contact with the car.

● ‘Shearing force’ the force which moves one face material over

● ‘Centrifugal force’ the force acting away from the centre, the oppo-

● ‘Inertial force’is the force required
to get things moving, change
direction stop, like the motor
car discussed above.
● ‘Cohesive adhesive force’is
the force required hold things
together.
● ‘Friction force’is the force which
resists prevents the movement
of two surfaces contact.

● ‘Centripetal force’ the force acting towards the centre when mass
attached string rotated circular path.

● ‘Centrifugal force’is the force
acting away from the centre, the
opposite centripetal force.
● ‘Centripetal force’is the force

These two examples show that the young woman exerts times more pressure the
ground than the elephant
