Can we reduce the pressure by increasing area ? Support your answer with an example.

Answer:
Pressure is inversely proportional to area.Henceforth if area decreases pressure increases and vice versa. ... The pressure on a surface is inversely proportional to the area of the surface, provided that the force applied on it remains constant. Therefore, the pressure will increase if the area on which it is applied is decreased.
eg-it is difficult for us to walk on sand, because our feet sink into it. on the other hand , a camel which is much heavier can easily walk on sand . This is because a camel has a broad feet. The weight of the camel is spread over the large area covered by its feet. Thus, the pressure exerted by its body on the sand is less.
please mark as brainliest!! :) <3
Answer:
Pressure = Force/Area. So for a given force if you decrease the area by a factor of two, then the pressure would increase
sharp knife cuts better than a blunt knike because it has less surface area and exerts more pressure
