Consider the pressure on a shot putter's hand as he throws the heavy shot. Part (a) Calculate the average pressure, in newtons per square meter, exerted on the palm of a shotputter's hand by the shot if the area of contact is 49.5 cm² and he exerts a force of 785 N on it. Numeric: A numeric value is expected and not an expression. P- Part (b) What is the ratio of this pressure to the atmospheric pressure? Numeric: A numeric value is expected and not an expression. P/Po. Consider the pressure on a shot putter's hand as he throws the heavy shot.
