Question

A force applies over a large area of contact produces a pressure.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since pressure is defined as Force/Area, a decrease in the area over which force is applied would result in an increase in pressure on this area. .This is because moving your thumb over the opening reduces the area over which force is applied. As a result, pressure increases

Answer 2

Explanation:

if a force is applied on a smaller area of contact, the pressure exerted by it is more (greater) . because area is inversely proportional to pressure.
