Question

step by step(all)

The same force F acts on four different objects having areas given below, one by one. In which case the pressure exerted will be maximum

a) 20 m²
b) 50 m²
c) 10 m²
d) 100 m²​

Answer 1

We know that pressure is inversely proportional to area for a constant force i.e., the larger the area the lesser the pressure and vice-versa.

So, the pressure exerted will be maximum on the least area.

Hence, correct answer is c) 10 m^2

Answer 2

Answer:

We know that pressure is inversely proportional to area for a constant force i.e., the larger the area the lesser the pressure and vice-versa.

So, the pressure exerted will be maximum on the least area.

Hence, correct answer is c) 10 m^2
