Women generally weight less than men. The footprints of women wearing pointed heels are, however, deeper than those of a man wearing flat shoes. Explain,    

Answer:

                           Men wearing flat shoes have more area of contact with the ground, hence exert less pressure. \[Pressure\propto \frac{1}{Area}\] Women wearing pointed heals have less area of contact with the ground, hence, exert more pressure. Therefore, the foot prints of women wearing pointed heels are deeper than the foot prints of men wearing flat shoes.
