Question

The force between your feet and the floor is greater while standing on your tiptoes than while standing flat on your feet.
True or false

Answer 1

I think this would be false because the difference between the preshure you have to put on the floor by just placing you toes is very different from the preshure you have to put on the hole base of your floor. Then I thought.... Pressure equals force divided by area. Since the area decreases the pressure has to increase, but the force remains the same. The only way to increase the force is to gain weight. I just want to make sure i'm right
