Question

When is the pressure on the ground more – when a man is lying or when a man is standing?
Explain.

Answer 1

Pressure is more on a standing man than a lying man, because while standing less area is covered by man in comparison to standing, and area is inversely proportional to pressure.

Answer 2

when a person is standing then the force is hold in a small area so it produces more pressure on the ground... but when a man is lying on the ground then force is distributed to a large area and it exert less pressure on the ground ... so the pressure is more when a man is standing
