a football player is tackled by another player and lands with the combined weight of both players on his knees. if the combined weight of the player is 2400 N and players knees measures .1x.1 m. how much pressure is exerted on the turf when the player lands on his knees
Combined weight acting on the player is 2400N. Area of the knee= 0.1 x 0.1 = 0.01
Pressure=force/area=2400/0.01=240000N/m2
