• milliters
• meters

Which of the statements is true?

• The bottom of the boot exerts more pressure than the shoe as a result of an increase in surface area.
• The bottom of the shoe exerts more pressure than the boot as a result of an decrease in surface area.
• The bottom of the shoe exerts the same pressure as the bottom of the boot.

If the horse reared up on 2 legs what effect would it have on the pressure?

• it will exert half the pressure it did before
• it will exert the same pressure it did before
• it will exert twice the pressure it did before
• it will exert four times the pressure it did before

A person wearing steel toe capped boots and a person wearing stilleto heels stand on a wooden floor. They both have the same weight. Which person exerts a greater pressure on the floor?

• The person wearing the boots because the boots have a larger surface area in contact with the floor
• The person with the stiletto heels because they have a larger surface area in contact with the floor
• The person wearing the boots because the boots have a smaller surface area in contact with the floor 
• The person with the stiletto heels because they have a smaller surface area in contact with the floor
