Question

When the same amount of pressure acts over a larger area, it exerts: *
a) a greater force
b) asmaller force
c) the same force
d) a weaker force​

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is option a)a greater force.

Hope it helps uh.

Answer 2

When the same amount of pressure acts over a larger area, it exerts a) a greater force.

• The general expression relating force, area and pressure is :

$\boxed{Pressure = \dfrac{Force}{ area}}$

$\implies \: Force = Pressure \times area$

• For constant pressure, we can say:

$\implies \: Force \propto area$

Since, force is directly proportional to area: higher the area, higher will be the force !

• OPTION a) IS CORRECT ✔️
