The high heels will exert more pressure per unit area (per square inch, per square centimeter, etc.), because they distribute the weight over a smaller area of contact.

Who exerts more pressure on the ground -a kg women standing in high heels or a kg women standing in work boots?

High heels. The downward force in both cases is the weight of the woman. However, in high heels, the force acts on a relatively small area whereas with work boots the area is larger. As a result, the pressure is greater with high heels.Estimates suggest that a woman of average average mass, wearing stiletto heels with an area of 1 cm^2, will exert more than 10 times the pressure exerted by a 4 ton elephant standing on one foot.


Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 500N woman standing in 0.005m high heels or a 500N woman standing in 0.05m work boots?

The woman in high heels exerts more pressure on the ground because the pressure exerted is force divided by area; the smaller contact area of the heels concentrates the force, resulting in higher pressure. So, a 500N woman standing in 0.005m high heels exerts more pressure than a 500N woman standing in 0.05m work boots.


Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 50kg woman standing in high heels or a 50kg woman standing in work boots?

The woman in high heels exerts more pressure on the ground because the weight of her body is distributed over a smaller area due to the small surface area of the heel compared to the work boots. This results in higher pressure on the ground beneath the heels.


Who exerts more pressure on the ground a 50 kg woman standing in high heels or a 50 kg woman standing on work boots?

I would think that the woman in high heels would exert more pressure per square inch. All that 50 kg of weight is concentrated onto the small heels of the high heels, whereas with the boots it's spread out around the area of the boots, which significantly lowers the pressure. Put another way, if you go out and try to walk on extremely crunchy snow with the boots, they act like a pair of liferafts on water, in a sense, or at least for a second or two. With the heels, they sink right through the snow.
