Question

The same force F acts on a four different objects having the areas given below , one by one. In which

case the pressure exerted will be the maximum? a) 20 m3

b) 50m3

c) 10 m2

d) 100 m2

Answer 1

c)10m2
as lesser the area greater will be pressure

Answer 2

Hello Scientist

This is a question involving force, pressure and area.

The force F is all the same in all situation making it constant.

Using the formula:Pressure=Force/area

P=F/A

This suggest that since F is constant,decrease in area will lead to increase in pressure and vice vasa.

This may be represented in real life with a sharp healed shoe of a lady and a normal shoe.

If a lady weighing 140N may step on you while wearing the sharp healed shoe,the pain will be more severe than while wearing a normal flat shoe.

Therefore, the lesser the area,the greater the pressure.

Leading to our answer wich is 10m^2
