Question

A woman might wear a pair of flat shoes to work during the day, as in the figure (a)(Figure 1) , but a pair of high heels, as in the the figure (b), when going out for the evening. Assume that each foot supports half her weight, w = W/2 = 308 N, and that the forces exerted by the floor on her feet occur at the points A and B in both figures. http://session.masteringphysics.com/problemAsset/1125532/6/Walker4e.ch11.Pr103.jpg Find the forces FA (point A) and FB (point B) for flat shoes. Find the forces (point A) and (point B) for high heels. How have the high heels changed the weight distribution between the woman's heels and toes?

Explanation / Answer

high hills makes the weight more on toes as it increases the hight from ground decreasing effective base area so pressure increases on toes
