Answer 2

Answer:

To increase Pressure:

1. Increase the magnitude of pressure
2. Decrease the surface area

To Decrease Pressure:

1. Decrease the magnitude of pressure
2. Increase the surface area

Explanation:

1. The pressure acting on a body would increase if we increase its magnitude and, also, decrease if we decrease its magnitude.
2. When the surface area of the body applying the pressure is less than the pressure applied is more.

• Ex - Sharp knifes have a smaller surface area.
