Question

true\false - pressure doesnot depend on the area of contact

Answer 1

Answer:

false

Explanation:

pressure =force /area.

hence pressure depends on area of contact

Answer 2

Pressure does not depend on the area of contact is false.

• The pressure acting on a surface of an object depends on the force being applied and the area of contact.
• It has an indirect relationship with the area of contact and increases as the area decreases and vice versa.
• For example, a nail being inserted into a wall will require less pressure than a black of wood because the surface area of the tip of the nail is very less.
