Question

Which of these exert greater pressure on the ground for a given thrust: a pointed heels? b flat sandals? Give a reason.

Answer 1

the answer is pointed heel

we know that the pressure of a body is given by force acting over a given area
this shows that the pressure is inversely proportional to the area i.e the less the area over which the force is acting the greater is the pressure

Answer 2

Answer:A pointed end of a high heels sandal has a greater impact on the ground than a Flat heel sandal because high heels sandal has less surface area on contact with ground and exerts more pressure because pressure is inversely propostional to surface in contact
