Question

if the area of contact is larger, the pressure is
a) more
b)the same
c)can be more or less
d)lesser

​

Answer 1

Answer:

more

Explanation:

because the area of contact is larger because the pressure is more

Answer 2

Answer:

d)lesser

Explanation:

Take the example of bag strips:

If the strips of the bag are thin then pressure will increase you will feel the weight of the bag, whereas if the strips are broad enough then you will not feel as much pressure you observed in the last case.

So we came to the conclusion that as the area of contact will increase the pressure will decrease and as the area of contact will decrease the pressure will increase.

Therefore, pressure is inversely proportional to the area of contact.

Hope this will help you to understand✌
