Question

examples of increase in surface area decrease in pressure

Answer 1

the base of dams is made larger so that it can withstand larger pressure

Answer 2

Howdy!!

your answer is ----

according to pressure formula

$pressure = \frac{force}{area}$

pressure is inversely proportional to the area.

so, when surface area increase , pressure decrease and vice versa.


example =>• the pressure is more when we press a nail with large surface area because it surface area is large . so pressure is high.

• Cutting tools have sharp edges with very low area so that high pressure


hope it help you
