Question

A force of 10 N acts on an area of 0.1 m². The force is kept the same but the area is reduced
to half. Which of the following is true?
a. The pressure does not change.
b. The pressure reduces to half.
c. The pressure increases by 1.5 times.
d. The pressure doubles.
.​

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer to your question is option C

Answer 2

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
