Final answer:
A narrowly focused dynamic force would cause more skeletal damage than a widely focused static force because the pressure exerted by a concentrated force is higher, and the sudden impact can lead to greater damage.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement a narrowly focused dynamic force would cause more skeletal damage than a widely focused static force, assume both have the same force is true. This is because a force concentrated in a small area (narrowly focused) will exert a higher pressure, thus potentially causing greater damage as pressure is force per unit area.
Dynamic forces which are associated with motion and impact, can apply sudden, intense stress that can fracture or break bones. On the other hand, static forces even when strong, are usually distributed across a larger area and bone material has more time to adapt or redistribute the force, resulting in less damage.
