pressure is directly proportional to force , if the force increases then the pressure also increases vice versa ,
if the force decreases then the pressure also decrease vice versa , SI unit of force is Newton and that of pressure is Pascal .

pressure is inversely proportional to area , if the area is less then pressure will be more .
if the area is more then pressure will be less .
hope it helped you

Answer: Pressure is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to area.

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as the ratio of force applied to the area of cross section.

Mathematically,

P=\frac{F}{A}

where,

P = Pressure

F = Force applied

A = Area of cross-section

As from above it is visible that pressure is directly proportional to the force applied which means that if force increases, pressure increases. It is also inversely proportional to the area of cross-section. So, when area of cross-section increases, pressure decreases.

The units of pressure are N/m^2 and S.I. units for this term is Pascal (P).
