Question

If the surface area is smaller, the pressure will be ___________​

Answer 1

Answer:

bigger

Explanation:

As the surface area gets smaller, pressure will increase. Surface area and pressure are inversely proportional to each other.

Answer 2

Answer:

If the surface area is smaller, the pressure will be greater.

Explanation:

How does the decrease in the surface area affects the pressure of a given force? A: By its very definition: Pressure = Force/Area. So for a given force if you decrease the area by a factor of two, then the pressure would increase by a factor of two.
