    This physics experiment aims to determine if the pressure exerted by a person's foot exceeds atmospheric pressure. Students are instructed to measure their mass with a bathroom scale, trace their feet to find the surface area, and calculate weight in Newtons and pressure in standard units. They then compare the pressure to atmospheric pressure and write a conclusion.

    Topic: Personal Pressure exerted on the Floor

    Aim: To find out if the pressure exerted by a person’s foot exceeds atmospheric pressure.

    Apparatus/ Materials: Bathroom scale, graph paper, pencil.

    Method:

    1. Determine your mass in kg using a bathroom scale.

    2. Trace your feet out on a sheet of graph paper and find the area.

    3. Record your results in an appropriate format.

    Data Analysis:

    1. Calculate your weight in Newtons.

    2. Calculate the pressure exerted when standing in standard units.

    3. Is the pressure bigger or smaller than atmospheric pressure?

    Conclusion: Write a suitable conclusion for this experiment.
