Answer:
d. The pressure doubles.
Explanation:
1. A force of 10 N acts on an area of 0.1 m²
force = 10N
area = 0.1m²
pressure¹ = force × area
pressure¹ = 10 × 0.1
pressure¹ = 1Nm
2. if the force is kept the same but the area is reduced to half.
force = 10N
area = 0.1/2m²
area = 0.1/2m²
= 0.05m²
pressure² = force × area
pressure² = 10 × 0.05
pressure² = 0.5Nm
pressure² is double of pressure ¹
