IS SURFACE AREA DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL TO FORCE
OR
IS SURFACE AREA INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO FORCE
Force = pressure * area
In this way we can say that force is directly proportional to the perpendicular area.
Statement 1: For the same load/force acting on two different surfaces, more pressure is developed on the surface with a smaller area. Statement 2: Pressure is inversely proportional to the area of contact.
Two bodies A and B having masses 6 kg and 3 kg respectively are at rest on a smooth surface. A force F is applied on both the bodies to produce linear motion. Which body will move with a greater speed and why?
