2. [0/1 Points] DETAILS PREVIOUS ANSWERS MY NOTES ASK YOUR TEACHER A 4.5-kg, three legged stool supports a 89-kg person. If each leg of the stool has a cross-sectional diameter of 2.8 cm and the weight of the person is evenly distributed, determine the pressure exerted on the floor by each leg. Can you write an expression for pressure in terms of force and area? How much weight is supported by each leg and what is the end area of each leg? Pa There are 3 identical normal forces, one from each leg of the stool, that support the total weight (person + stool). Find the normal force for 1 leg of the stool. Then the pressure is that force divided by the cross-sectional area of the stool leg; this is the area of a circle. Additional Materials Reading Submit Answer
