Answer the following question, with explanation first.
A giant spider is discovered. It weighs 2.5 times the previous largest spider, which weighed 6.4 ounces. Each of its legs has a cross-sectional area of .5 square inches. How much pressure in ounces per square inch does each leg undergo?

4
The spider weighs 6.

4 * 2.

5 = 16 ounces.

So each leg supports a weight of 16 / 8 = 2 ounces.

That means each leg undergoes a pressure of 2 /.

5 = 4 ounces per square inch.

.

So, the final answer is 4
