Question

How is pressure related to the area in contact with it?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Pressure is Force per Unit Area. Pressure is the force on an object that is spread over a surface area. The equation for pressure is the force divided by the area where the force is applied.

Answer 2

===========================================

The pressure is force exerted by a body per unit area.

$P = \frac {F} {A}$

From the above equation we can see that the force is inversely proportional to that of the area. We can see by physical example how the pressure exerted by the body depends on the area.

When we walk in high heels the area of the contact of the heels with the surface is very small and hence the pressure exerted will be very high so is the pressure exerted on the body
