What pressure does a 4000N horse exert on the ground if each foot is 10cm²?

• 40 N/cm²
• 100 N/cm²
• 400 N/cm²
• 10 N/cm²

If the horse reared up on 2 legs what effect would it have on the pressure?

• it will exert half the pressure it did before
• it will exert the same pressure it did before
• it will exert twice the pressure it did before
• it will exert four times the pressure it did before
