How does the amount of pressure you exert on the floor when you are lying down compare with the amount of pressure exert when you are standing up?

Since your weight remains constant, the only variable is the area. Pressure is the ratio of Force to Area, implying that the larger the area the smaller the pressure and vice versa. Since lying down translate into occupying a larger area than when standing up, a lower pressure is exerted on the floor while lying compared to when standing on the floor.

Which will exert more pressure river water or same amount of sea water?
Salt water is denser, and therefore will exert more pressure (for two columns of the same height).
When you standing on the floor does the floor exert an upward force against your feet How much force does it exert?
Because your feet are not accelerating, the force exerted by the floor upon your feet must be exactly the same as the force exerted by your feet on the floor. If you are standing, the amount of force exerted by your feet, and thus the amount of force exerted by the floor, is equivalent to your weight.

How much pressure does a ballet dancer exert on the floor when standing on one toe?
Personally i am a dancer and i do, do pointe when standing on the amount of pressure that you excert depends on how many years you have been training i am 12 and on one toe the pressure is not that big because you have the toe padding which takes most of the pain away so the pressure really isn't that great.

When do plants exhibit turgor pressure?
When the vacuole of plant cells absorb too much water, it swells so big, that it squashes the cytoplasm, and begins to exert pressure on the cell wall. This pressure is known as turgor pressure.

When is the pressure on the ground more when a man is lying or when a man is standing?
The person of mass (m) exerts the same force on the ground both standing up and lying down. This can be easily seen through Newtons Second Law ie F = ma. Knowing that pressure is defined as force over area (P = F/Area), it can be seen that the person standing up is applying more pressure to the ground.
