Pressure

How much pressure do you place on someone when you stand on them?
    
                                                            PSI= force, in lbs. / area in sq. in.

Hypothetically a 100 lb. person with a foot with an area of 5 sq inches would exert 20 PSI. Where as a 100 lb. person with a foot with an area of 15 sq inches would exert 6.67 PSI.
