Adecrease the person’s weight on the snow.
Bincrease the area over which the person’s weight is distributed.
Cincrease the pressure on the snow.
Dincrease the buoyancy of the person.

Verified Answer :

Answer:

Option B is correct.

Explanation:

Snowshoes has large area of crossection.

As a person wears the snowshoes, the weight of the person distributed over a large area and thus the pressure exerted by the surface due to the weight of the person is less.

The relation among pressure, force and area of crossection is given below.

\(Pressure = \frac{Force}{Area of crossection}\)

As area of crossection is large, pressure is small and thus the person walk on deep snow.
