4 Estimate weight=600N,
area of feet=500cm2=0.05m2
600 = 12kPa.
So pressure p = AF = 0.05
5 Pressure at depth 0.8m is
p = gh1 =10009.810.8 = 7.85103Pa
Pressure at depth 2.4m is
p = gh2 =10009.812.4 = 2.35104Pa
Maximum total pressure, p = patm + pwater
= 1.01 105 + 2.35 104 = 1.25105Pa

Spring D has the greatest value of force
constant (the graph has the steepest
gradient).
b Spring A is the least stiff (it extends the most
for each unit of force applied).
c Spring C does not obey Hookes law there is
no section of the graph that forms a straight
line.

a A has greater stiffness (less extension per unit
force).
b A requires greater force to break (line
continues to higher force value).
c B requires greater amount of work done to
break (larger area under graph).
