Question

How would the pressure change if area is doubled keeping thrust constant *
(a) doubled
(b) half
(c) tripled
(d) no change

Answer 1

Answer:

Half  (b)

Explanation:

Pressure (P) is inversely proportional to Area (A) provided the force applied is constant. Thus if we double the area of contact while keeping the force constant, then according to the formula the pressure should be halved. For the same force ,if the area is doubled , pressure becomes half .
