Question

State whether the following statements are true or false?
(i) the pressure inside our body is equal to the atmospheric pressure
(ii) pressure is inversely proportional to the area.

• A. Both are true
• B. Both are false
• C. (i) True(ii) False
• D. (i) False(ii) True

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both are true

(i) True, because we do not get crushed by the atmosphere as the pressure inside our body and atmospheric pressure are equal.

(ii) True, as $pressure=\frac{force}{area}$. So, for constant force, $pressure\propto \frac{1}{area}$
