Question

So the question gives us that a single foot pad has an area of1.0 cm2 and the gecko's can attach to walls and ceilingsbecause of their foot pads with a force of 11 N then it asks howmany 250 g gecko's could be suspended from the ceiling by a singlefoot pad? Any idea of which equations to use. .

Any idea of which equations to use. .

Explanation / Answer

they can attach with a force of 11N. the area of the foot padis irrelevant: F=m*a 11=(.25*n)*9.8 n=4.49 so 4 geckoes can be suspended from one footpad.
