Chapter 13, Problem 1RCQ

To determine

Relation of pressure with force

Answer to Problem 1RCQ

Solution: Pressure is directly proportional to the force.

Explanation of Solution

The pressure is given by the relation

$P=\frac{F}{A}$

Here,

$F$ is force

$P$ is pressure

$A$ is area

The relation between pressure and force is given by the equation

$P\propto F$

Hence, pressure is directly proportional to the force.

Conclusion:

Pressure is directly proportional to the force, which means if you increase the value of force, pressure will also increase and vice-versa.
