Solution

The correct option is (B)

The surface area with maximum value will experience a maximum force

Force = Pressure × Area. So for the same force, if we decrease the surface area, more pressure will be experienced by the object, which is the case in the second diagram.

Q. The same amount of pressure is applied to two different objects with different surface areas. In this scenario, which of the following statements is correct?

Statement 1: For the same force acting on two different surfaces, more pressure is developed on the surface with a smaller area.
Statement 2: Pressure is defined as force per unit area.

There are 3 boxes A, B & C of equal masses, same material and similar surface condition, but of different shapes, kept on a rough floor. The surface area of box in contact with the floor varies as C>B>A i.e. box C has the maximum surface area in contact with the floor followed by B and A respectively.
