Question

Which of the following would exert the most pressure on the ground?a. A woman standing on running shoes.b. A woman standing on skis.C. A woman standing in high-heel shoes.

Answer 1

C. A woman standing in high-heel shoes.

Explanation:

The pressure is given by the force per unit area, that is to say, the greater the area the pressure is less in the same way that the smaller the area, the pressure is greater.

Therefore, the shoes with a smaller area, that is, the high-heel shoes, will exert more pressure.

Therefore, the correct answer is C. A woman standing in high-heel shoes.
