Expert Answer:
Mass of the person=60kg
Weight of the person = mg =60×10=600N
Area = 180 cm^2 = 180× 10 ^-4
As P= F/A = 600/180×10^-4 = 3.3×10^-4 Pa

- Why do we find the difference in pressure at the first floor and 3rd floor of a building to find the height of the 3 floor using the formula : P= height x Density x Acceleration due to gravity
- The pressure at the bottom of well is 3times the pressure at a depth of 2 m. Calculate the depth of the well if the atmospheric pressure is 10.33m of water column
