Question

Explain how force and surface area affect the applied pressure
.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Pressure of solid on a solid

You can see that for a given force, if the surface area is smaller, the pressure will be greater. If you use a larger area, you are spreading out the force, and the pressure (or force per unit area) becomes smaller.
