Solution

Pressure:

  1. Pressure is the force that acts per unit area. In other words, pressure is also known as thrust per unit area.
  2. Pressure is inversely proportional to the area which means the lesser the area more will be the pressure.
  3. The formula of pressure is Force(thrust)Area.
  4. SI unit of pressure is Pascal(pa).
  5. A camel can walk more easily in the sandy desert than a man because the feet of a camel have a larger surface area so the pressure exerted by the feet of the camel is less than that of men's feet which prevents the camel's feet from sinking into the sand.

Hence, Aacamel can walk more easily in the sandy desert than a man due to its large surface area.
