Question

How does the pressure gets affected if :a.Area is doubled keeping the force constant? b.Force is doubled keeping the area constant?

Answer 1

P=F/A
For constant F
P is inversely proportional to A
a) If area is doubled then P is halfed
AGAIN,
P=F/A
keeping area constant
P is directly proportional to F
b) If force is doubled pressure will also be doubled

Answer 2

Answer:

P=F/A

For constant F

P is inversely proportional to A

a) If area is doubled then P is halfed

AGAIN,

P=F/A

keeping area constant

P is directly proportional to F

b) If force is doubled pressure will also be doubled
