Hi$!$ Thank you for your time! I dont really know where to begin and I$\text{'}$m terrible and dimensional analysis in general. Can this question be explained in$-$depth? Thank you so much!

Critical Thinking Questions

What is the force $($i$.$e$.$ weight in pounds$)$ exerted on the ice by

$($a$)$ the elephant $(7$ tons$)?$

$($b$)$ the ice skater $(120$lbs$)?$

Based on force alone and its direct relationship to pressure, would $($a$)$ or $($b$)$ contribute to a greater pressure on the ice?

What is the total contact area $($in $($:${?}^2\}$ for $($a$)$ elephant? For $($b$)$ the ice skater? You must show your work.

$($a$)$ elephant

$($b$)$ ice skater

Based on area alone and its inverse relationship to pressure, would $($a$)$ or $($b$)$ contribute to a greater pressure on the ice?

Using the definition of pressure above, calculate the net pressure $($in lbs$/$in ${?}^2)$ that $($a$)$ the elephant and $($b$)$ the ice skater exert on the ice. You must show your work.

$($a$)$ What is the answer to the original Model $1$ question of the elephant or ice skater being more likely to fall through the ice? Explain.

$($b$)$ Does this make intuitive sense? Why or why not?
