This is what I get
Explanation:
Assuming your mass be
At a particular instant of time, while walking on water, one of your feet is raised and total weight is on the other foot. As such as you walk on water each boat like shoe needs to support your weight.
From the Law of Flotation we know that for a floating object, the weight of the object equals the weight of the liquid displaced by it.
Let
#"Volume of shoe"xx"Density of water"xxg="Your weight"#
Taking Density of water as
#(Lxx0.3xx0.3)1000xxg =40g#
#=>L =40/(0.09xx1000)#
#=>L=0.bar4\ m#
