Rodney weighs 160 lb. He sits in a comfortable chair in which 90% of his weight is supported by his rear end and upper thighs and 10% by his feet. If the contact area of his buttocks and thighs against the seat is 150 square inches, what is the average pressure over this area (in both pounds per square inch and pascals)?
