Question

design an activity to show how pressure due to given force and area are interrelated to each other. try to take a example from daily life​

Answer 1

ACTIVITY TO SHOW INTER-RELATION BETWEEN FORCE, AREA AND PRESSURE !

Material required:

• Balloon
• Pumper
• Pins
• Blunt objects

Experiment:

• Use the pumper and inflate two balloons.

• Put force on the first balloon using the pin. And use the blunt object to put force on the second balloon.

Observation:

• The pin punctures the balloon, but the blunt object does not.

Inference:

• Since the pin had a much smaller area of contact, the pressure exerted on the balloon was much higher , which caused the balloon to get punctured and deflated.

• But the blunt object had a higher area, leading to lesser pressure and the balloon did not get punctured.

Accompanying Equations:

$\boxed{ \sf \: pressure = \dfrac{force}{area} }$

Hope It Helps.
