Question

Two women are of the same weight. One wears sandals with pointed heels while the other wear sandals with flat sole. Which one feel more comfortable while walking on the sandy beach? Give reason for your answer

Answer 1

Answer: The woman wearing sandals with the flat soles.

Explanation:

We know that $Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$. In this case the force (weight of the women) is the same, but the area of the pointed heel is much lesser than that of the flat soles. And $Pressure$ ∝ $\frac{1}{Area}$ (Pressure is inversely proportional to area) the woman wearing shoes with more area exerts less pressure making it more comfortable for her to walk.

Hope this was helpful, please mark me as brainliest!!

Answer 2

One who wore sandals with flat soles has more surface area and this will

exert less pressure on sand and so her feet will not sink in the sand. She feel

more comfortable.
