Question

Two women are of same weight. One wears shoes with flat soles and the other with pointed soles . Who would feel much comfortable while walking on sandy beach? Explain the answer with reason

Answer 1

The women wearing shoes with flat soles would feel comfortable bcz pressure is inversely proportional to area. If area will increase, the pressure exerted on sand would be less. the woman who is wearing pointed soles, she would not be comfortable in moving on sand because the area is less and pressure would be more.
