Question

Explain how force and surface area affect the applied pressure.​

Answer 1

Answer:

force and surface area are two factors affecting pressure on solids

more the force you apply, more will be the pressure

pressure and force are directly proportional meaning if Force is greater, pressure will also be greater

more the surface area of the solid less will be the pressure

surface area and pressure are inversely proportional meaning if surface are is big, pressure will be less, surface area small, pressure will be greater

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation:

We have a basic equation: Pressure = Force/Area.

So for example:

Increase pressure - increase the force or reduce the area the force acts on.

Decrease pressure - decrease the force, or increase the area the force acts on

The force per unit area is pressure. The force on the object is spread over the surface area. The area where the force is applied is divided by the equation for pressure.
