Skis help a person to slide smoothly over snow because the skis _______the area over which the weight of the person acts.
A Increase
B Decrease
C Remain Same​

Answer 1

Answer:

Increase is the answer

When the area of contact increases, the pressure exerted by the object decreases subsequently. Due to less pressure, the force applied by the Skis would be lesser and thus would prevent the object from sinking into the snow.
