Question

The pressure exerted by a woman wearing shoes with pointed heels is ……. than what an elephant with one foot can exert on ground:
(A) Much lesser
(B) Much greater
(C) Both equal
(D) None of these

Answer 1

Hint We should know that pressure is defined as the force per unit area. If a constant area is given the force will be applied directly proportional to the pressure. And if the pressure is held in a constant then the pressure is directly proportional to the area. Moreover, we should also know that if the area is doubled then the pressure is reduced to half.

Complete step by step answer
We should know that the pressure that is exerted by a woman wearing shoes with the pointed heels which is much greater than what an elephant with one foot can exert on the ground. This is because the less the area of the contact of the pointed heels.
So, we can say that the pressure exerted by a woman wearing shoes with pointed heels is much greater than what an elephant with one foot can exert on the ground.

 Hence the correct option is option B.

Note It should be known to us that the law of pressure of any fixed mass of gas which is held against a constant volume is always directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature, which is denoted by T. So, we can say that as the pressure if any particular system goes up then in that case the temperature of the system will go up. So we can say that the opposite is also true where the pressure of a system is going down resulting in the lowering of the temperature of the system.
