Question

As the area of contact increases pressure? 1) increase 2) decreases 3) equals 4) none of the​

Answer 1

Answer:

2) If the area of contact decreases, the pressure increases. pressure is inversely proportional to area that is why pressure increases on decreasing area.

1) The pressure exerted on a surface by an object increases as the weight of the object increases or the surface area of contact decreases. Alternatively the pressure exerted decreases as the weight of the object decreases or the surface area of contact increases.
