Answer to Question #161007 in Classical Mechanics for Ermus Ken

Question

1. What happens to pressure when Force increases and the surface area is keep in constant?

2. What happens to pressure when surface area increases and the Force is keep in constant?

Answer 1

The pressure is the force per unit area. It can be mathematically written as follows:

$$P=\dfrac{F}{A}.$$

According to the formula above:

1) If the force increases and the surface area is keep in constant the pressure increases.

2) If the surface area increases and the force is keep in constant the pressure decreases.
