Pressure, Area & Ground Penetration

P = F / A  •  The block's weight (Force) never changes — only its footprint (Area) and the surface it sits on decide how deep it sinks.

F (constant)
Width: 50 cm5–100 cm

Change the width and the surface type.
Height auto-adjusts to keep volume/weight constant. Softer surfaces sink more for the same pressure.
