Answer 2

The mathematical expression of the pressure is the ratio of force and area.

Pressure = F/A

P = F/A

Now for the first case,

P1 = F1/A1

P1 = 10/20 = 1/2

Now for the second case,

P2= F2/A2

P2 = 18/6 = 3/1

So the ratio of P1 and P2 is

P1/P2

= (1/2) ÷ (3/1)

= (1/2) × (1/3)

= 1/6

= 1:6 (answer)
