A 175-lb woman stands on a vinyl floor wearing stiletto high-heel shoes. If the heel has the dimensions shown, determine the average normal stress she exerts on the floor and compare it with the average normal stress developed when a man having the same weight is wearing flat-heeled shoes. Assume the load is applied slowly, so that dynamic effects can be ignored. Also, assume the entire weight is supported only by the heel of one shoe. 1.2 in. 0.5 in. 0.3 in. A --0.1 in.

A 175-lb woman stands on a vinyl floor wearing stiletto high-heel
shoes. If the heel has the dimensions shown, determine the average
normal stress she exerts on the floor and compare it with the average
normal stress developed when a man having the same weight is
wearing flat-heeled shoes. Assume the load is applied slowly, so that
dynamic effects can be ignored. Also, assume the entire weight is
supported only by the heel of one shoe.
