13. Two rods of the same weight and equal length have different thickness. They are held vertically on
the surface of sand as shown in Fig.11.9. Which one of them will sink move? Why?
Rod B will sink more as the area of contact with the surface is less, Pressure exerted will be more.

sandals with flat soles. Which one would feel more comfortable while walking on a sandy beach? Give
reasons for your answer.

a surface of area 25 cm2.
17. A normal force of 200N acts on an area of 0.02m2 . Find the pressure in pascal.
Given data:
F=200 N, Area= 0.02m2
