When does man exert greater pressure on the floor while standing or walking?

tiptoesWhen standing on tiptoe, the force exerted by your body remains the same, but is now concentrated in a smaller area. Pressure is measured in force divided by area. By reducing the area, you increase the pressure.


When is the pressure on the ground more-when a man is lying or when a man is standing?

There is more pressure when the man is standing, since pressure is the amount of force acting on a certain area and is calculated by dividing the force by the area. When a man is standing, the area of contact with the ground is less than the area of contact when lying down. Since his weight is constant, there is more pressure when he is standing.


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.


Why is the pressure on the ground more when a man is walking than when he is standingn?

when a man is standing on ground all his weight is in downward direction and pressure is the force divided by area as force is maximum and area is minimum so pressure will be more when he is standing

What effect does a fast moving train have on a man standing near it?

the man falls towards the train because the stream lines of air near train are closer greating more pressure where as stream lines naer man are farther creating low presssure thus the man moves from the area of low pressure to that of high pressure.


IT is observed that the total pressure exerted by air on the man of average size is around 14.7 lb wt per square inch But the man feels quite comfortable It is because of?

It's because that man, (just like any other man, woman or child), has had that same pressure (plus or minus 2%) on him or her since he was born. In fact, take that pressure away from a patch of skin and what you get is a love bite (aka hickey).

Why is it difficult to walk on Sand?

To understand what it is difficult to walk on sand we need to know how do we walk? Walking is a process where we put pressure on earth and when one of our legs is pressing the earth hard we take our other leg in air and take a step. This process is ok with hard earth but if we are on sand, our leg started going down inside sand and that is why we feel hard to walk on sand.
