Detailed Solution

When you stand on loose sand, then the direction of force acting on an area is perpendicular to the contact of the surface.
The reaction force to resist the action force always works perpendicular to the area of contact. So, in this case, the force will act perpendicular to the surface of the sand. We exert more pressure when standing on sand since the surface area is smaller. Our entire body takes up far more space when we lie on sand than our feet do. Thus, less pressure is being delivered in this instance.
