Mass of the girl, m = 50 kg

Diameter of the heel, d = 1.0 cm = 0.01 m, Radius of the heel, r = d/2 = 0.005m

Area of the heel,  πr2 = 7.85 *10-5 m2

Force exerted by heel on the floor, F = mg = 50 *9.8 N = 490 N

Pressure exerted by heel on the ground, p = F/A = 490/ (7.85 *10-5) N/ m2

= 6.24 *106 N/ m2
