    A man weighing 50 kgf is standing on a wooden plank of \[1m\text{ }\times \text{ }0.5m\]. What will be the pressure exerted by it on the ground?

    A)  \[300\text{ }kgf/{{m}^{2}}~\]   

    B)  \[100\text{ }kgf/{{m}^{2}}\]

    C)  \[200\text{ }kgf/{{m}^{2}}\]                      

    D)  \[400\text{ }kgf/{{m}^{2}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

      \[F=50\text{ }kg\text{ }f\] \[A=1m\times 0.5\text{ }m=0.5{{m}^{2}}\] \[\therefore \] \[P=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{50\,kgf}{0.5\,{{m}^{2}}}=100\,kg\,f/{{m}^{2}}\] The correct answer is B.
