Explain why school bags are provided with wide straps to carry them.
A wider strap distributes the force throughout a greater surface area. You can do a comparison using a simple physics equation.
Pressure = Force/Area
So take two different straps and measure the area of them.
Then find out how much weight the pack will be holding.
Then divide the Weight by the Area and you end up with pressure.
