Solution

The correct options are
B
Pressure is directly proportional to force applied.

C
Pressure is inversely proportional to the area.

Pressure is defined as the force acting on a unit area. This means that pressure is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to the area. As force increases, pressure increases. As area increases, pressure decreases.

Q. Solubility of gases in water is ________. proportional to the pressure and _________ proportional to the temperature [inversely / directly].

Q. From Bernoulli's principle it was found that as area decreases velocity increases and pressure at that point decreases. But we also know that pressure is inversely proportional to area[P=F/A]. So it is found that pressure is proportional to the area[Bernoulli], but also pressure is inversely proportional to the area[F/A]. how is that possible?

Q. Assertion :At constant temperature, pressure of the gas is doubled, density is also doubled. Reason: At constant temperature molecular mass of a gas is directly proportional to the density and inversely proportional to the pressure.
