Question

A 500-n student stands on one foot. A 750-n student stands on two feet. If both students wear the same size shoe, which exerts the greater pressure?

Answer 1

First boy who stands in one feet exerts 500N force on an area A(area of the shoe)
then pressure=500/A
Second boy who stands in two feet exerts 750N force on an area 2A( two foot with same size of shoe)
Then pressure=750/2A
Thus the first boy exerts more pressure than second boy.
