Discuss the factors affecting pressure exerted by a solid.
Answers
Answer:
A solid resting on a horizontal surface exerts a normal contact force equals to its weight. The pressure of the solid on the surface depends on the area of contact. (b) the area of contact between the two surfaces. The greater the force or the smaller the area the greater the pressure.
Answer:
#Force:-
If the downward force, that is, trust exerted by an object increases, the pressure also increases. Thus pressure is directly proportional to the thrust. In cases op pressure is to calutated. by a person, then thrust is equal to the weight of the person. A heavier person exents mou pressure on the ground in comparison to in lighter person.
#Area of contact:
As the area of contad increase the insusse excited reduces. This area of contact is inversely popational to the pressure. An object with larger surface. area will exent less pressure on the floor than an object will lesser surface
