11. As a woman walks, her entire weight is momentarilyplaced on one heel ofher high-heeled shoes. Calculatethe pressure exerted on the floor by the heel if it has anarea of 1.50 cm² and the woman's mass is 55.0 kg.Express the pressure in Pa. (In the early days ofcommercial flight, women were not allowed to wearhigh-heeled shoes because aircraft floors were too thinto withstand such large pressures.)
