Respuesta :
Animals with larger weights compensate for the large force they exert on the ground, by having a large footprint area in order to reduce the pressure of their feet on the ground.
Why do animals with large weight have large feet?
Large animals such as elephants, lions, hippopotamus, etc, usually have a large foot print area compared to smaller animals.
This larger footprint area helps to support their weight.
The weight of these animals exerts a force as well as pressure on the ground.
Pressure, force and area are related by the equation below:
- Pressure = Force/Area
The larger the area, the smaller the pressure.
In order to compensate for the large force they exert on the ground, larger animals possess a large footprint area in order to reduce the pressure of their feet on the ground.
