Question

A camel can walk easily on a sandy surface because it has long legs.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. Camels can walk easily in the desert because of their wide feet.
2. Their wide feet allow the weight of their body to act on a larger surface of land reducing the pressure exerted on the land by the camel.
3. As we know, the pressure exerted and the area are inversely proportional to each other.

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{P}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}}; \\ \mathrm{P}\mathrm{\alpha }\frac{1}{\mathrm{A}} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the given statement is false.
