How is force exerted on an object related to the area of object in contact

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student ,
When force is exerted then the area of contact also gets the same amount of force and hence when the area of contact is less then the applied force is more effective and when the area of contact is large then the total force is exerted on the total area of contact and here the force is less .
Regards
