Answer:

318.5 x 10^4 Pa

Explanation:

weight of woman = m g = 65 x 9.8 = 637 N

Area of both the heels = 1 x 2 = 2 cm^2 = 2 x 10^-4 m^2

Pressure is defined as the thrust acting per unit area.

P = F / A

Where, F is the weight of the woman and A be the area of heels

P = 637 / (2 x 10^-4) = 318.5 x 10^4 Pa
