Question

Give reason : “The base of tall buildings are made wider”.

Answer 1

1. The pressure is given for the formula

$P=\frac{Force}{Area}$

2. Pressure is inversely proportional to the surface area which means the wide the area, the lesser the pressure.

3. The base of the building should be wide or have a large area so that the building should exert less pressure and it should not sink into the earth.
