Answers
Answer:
They are examples of how force is
- distributed in the large area for more pressure
- or how force is focused in the small area for more pressure
Hope this will help you !

Answer:
(A) Friction (B) to (F)-Pressure
Explanation:
(A) Snow shoes increase grip and prevent you from slipping and falling.
(B) Porters place cloth around their head to distribute the weight evenly across their head, to make it easier to carry.
(C) Sharp knife applied force in a very small area. Since P=F/A, the pressure is increased in case of a sharp knife.
(D) Wider straps increase surface area and hence decrease the pressure in shoulders.
(E) Same reason. Needle applied force at almost a single point, leading to much larger pressure on the ballon.
(F) Air Pressure decreases with altitude on earth. Our blood vessels apply pressure in opposite direction to Atmospheric pressure to prevent us from being crushed. On Mountains, the outer pressure is less than the pressure applied by veins and so, they burst, causing nosebleed.
(G) I am sorry, the question is unclear.
