The diagram represents an athlete performing press-ups on a floor. Both hands are in contact with the floor. The contact area of each hand with the floor is S. During each press-up, the athlete’s toes serve as the pivot. The athlete’s weight $W$ acts through point X. The distance from his toes to point X is three quarters of the distance from his toes to his shoulders. What pressure is produced on the palm of each of the athlete’s hands?
- A$\frac{W}{8S}$
- B$\frac{3W}{8S}$
- C$\frac{W}{4S}$
- D$\frac{3W}{4S}$
