Answer:

Force is a push or a pull, pressure is the force per area

Step-by-step explanation:

A person stepping on a bed of nails is ok because the force of gravity is spread out over a large area, so low pressure.

A person stepping on one nail has the same force of gravity but it is in a small area, so larger pressure and he would not be safe
