We don't do homework questions. Suffice to say pressure is a function of
height.

You are welcome.

It won't hurt at all if all I'm doing is giving him a leg up onto his horse
in his riding boots, but a woman in stiletto heels might be painful. I'd
be careful only to let the soles be in contact with my hand. For a
man either the sole or the heel would be ok, but avoid his spurs.

Ok, no harm in that. All too often we get youngsters expecting us
to think for them and that is to be discouraged, they must think
for themselves.- Hide quoted text -

Ah, I think I may have jumped in a little too early with my retort.
So any help would be appreciated, I dont know how to work it out.
If you could supply a formula for me to work from I'd be very happy.
I've been researching, but all I seem to have learned is that 34' of
water equates to 14.7Psi.
And I dont know how to extrapolate that to my situation!?
Thanks, Tim
