Q224. Flat footed camels can walk easily in sandy deserts because (a)pressure on the sand is decreased by increasing the area of the surface in contact (b)pressure on the sand is increased by increasing the area of the surface in contact (c) pressure on the sand is decreased by decreasing the area of the surface in contact (d)pressure on the sand is increased by decreasing the area of the surface in contact
As we know, Pressure is equal to force per unit area which means that pressure is inversely proportional to the area. The area of camels foot is large so the pressure on the sand is less, therefore the sand does not sink in and camel can easily walk.
