If I weigh 500 Newtons. How much pressure do I apply when I stand on my head, if the part of my head that's touching the floor has a radius of 2 cm?

pressure = force / area
So, find the force and area:
force = 500 Newtons
area = (pi) * (radius)^2 = (pi) * (2 cm)^2 = 12.57 cm^2
pressure = 500 Newtons / 12.57 cm^2 = 39.78 Newtons/cm^2 is the answer
