Q
Two women are of the same weight. One wears sandals with pointed heels while the other wears sandals with flat soles. Which one would feel more comfortable while walking on a sandy beach? Give reasons for your answer.
A
Womens height are same and they apply same weight when they walk. But women wearing sandal withflat heel will be more comfortable while walking on sandy beach. This is because flat soles have larger area compared to the sandals with pointed heels. Also pressure exerted by the
pointed heels will be more compared to that with sandals having flat soles. This pressure will make the sandals with pointed soled sink in the sand which will make difficult to walk on sand.
