Question

Which of the following ratios express pressure?
(a) Force/ Area
(b) Energy/ Volume
(c) Energy/ Area
(d) Force/ Volume

Answer 1

a) FORCE/AREA IS THE ANSWER.

Answer 2

Pressure = Force/Area (Option a)

Let's see a detailed explanation:

• Pressure is a scalar quantity representing the force distribution over a unit area.

• Here, force represents the perpendicular thrust vector over the surface area.

$\boxed{pressure = \dfrac{force}{area} }$

1. For constant force, smaller area will produce higher pressure.
2. Similarly for constant area, higher force will produce higher pressure.

So, option a) is correct
