Question

10. An object with weight on a small area: (a) produces large force
(b) produces less force
(c) produces less pressure
(d) produces large pressure​

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is

A

True

Answer is A.

The same force acting on a smaller area exerts a larger pressure, and a smaller pressure on a larger area. This is the reason why a nail has a pointed tip, knives have sharp edges and buildings have wide foundations.

For example, When standing, a person will sink more into sand than when he lies flat stretched on sand. The body weight acts on a smaller area, in standing position, than when the person lies stretched over a larger area.

Hence, the statement is true.
