Question

Pressure increases on increasing the area of contact.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

1. The effectiveness of the force applied depends upon the area on which it is acting.
2. If the area on which the force acts is smaller, the effect of the force is greater and vice versa.
3. Thus we can say that pressure is inversely proportional to area. Pressure decreases with an increase in area and wise versa.

$Pressure=\frac{Force\left(Thrust\right)}{Area}$

Hence, the given statement is false.
