    Help with pressure differences-sponge and wood

    hi. It is a pressure transducer. i think i understand what is being said. So what would happen if i didnt push my hand in as far into the sponge? the readings would be less compared to hard surface?

    Help with pressure differences-sponge and wood

    thanks for your message. So if i push down on both the hard surface and soft surface equally, i will get a lower pressure reading with the soft surface as i have to push down further with the soft surface in order to equal the reaction force of the hard surface? is that correct? thanks again

    Help with pressure differences-sponge and wood

    hi,i have been doing experiments with individual pressure sensors, while attaching the sensor to my thumb, if i press my thumb onto a hard surface the pressure recorded is very high, but when i push my thumb onto a soft surface, like a sponge i have to press a lot harder to get a high pressure...

    Determining Force Exerted by Foot While Walking

    hi, its not an integeral part of my thesis, more of a personal part of the project!i have found some data on walking pressures, but the pressure seemed a little high!on the front area of the foot, in 3inch heels the pressure measured was 58PSI, 2999mmHg(the lady weighed 125lbs) and when walkin...

    Determining Force Exerted by Foot While Walking

    Thanks so so much for your help, its part of my final year master project/dissertation!i am enjoying writing it, but i have come up against some impossible problems! ok so getting a value of force exerted while walking is looking unlikely, so could i just state that the force exerted on the foot...

    Determining Force Exerted by Foot While Walking

    hi, thanks for your reply! not sure why i put force sorry, typo error!so do u think its possible to work out force exerted on the foot while walking? thanks again for your help!

    Determining Force Exerted by Foot While Walking

    force, acceleration problems! Homework Statement hi, I am new to this and this is my first question, so any help would be great!im a bit of a physics novice, but i am trying to work out the force exerted by the foot while walking. I know force=weight/area and so from this i can work out...
