Question 128

Four arctic explorers investigate the pressure they exert on the ground. They walk on snow wearing different pairs of snowshoes.

The table below gives the weight of each explorer and the total contact area of their snowshoes.

Explorer	Weight of explorer / $N\text{N}$	Total area of contact / $cm2\text{cm}^2$
A	650	1200
B	750	1500
C	800	1300
D	900	1600

Which explorer exerts the least pressure on the snow?
