Question

What are the factors that affect pressure in solids? Explain in detail with examples

Answer 1

$\rule[3}{}$

$\huge\boxed{\underline{\mathcal{\red{A} \green{N}\pink{S}\orange{W}\blue{E}\pink{R:-}}}}$

The pressure between two solid surfaces depends on two things:

(a) the force between the surfaces.

(b) the area of contact between the two surfaces.

The greater the force or the smaller the area the greater the pressure

$\rule[300}{}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The pressure exerted by solids depends on the cross section of area in contact with the surface.

Explanation:

More is the contact, less is the pressure exerted. Hope this helps!
