Question

What happens to pressure when the area of the surface increases ? *

Answer 1

Pressure will decrease whenever the surface area increases, and when the weight of the object is reduced.

Answer 2

`\color{green} {\huge \circ \degree \degree} \boxed{\\ormalsize{ \mathrm{ \underline{ \color{red}pressure \: \: will \: \: decrease}}} } \: \: \huge \color{green}\degree \degree \circ`

Step-by-step explanation :

We know that,

`\large \boxed{ \mathrm{pressure = (mass)/(area \: \: of \: \: surface)} }`

Now, we can observe that the area of surface is inversely proportional to the pressure, Therefore pressure will change opposite to the change in surface area in contact.

So, if we increase the surface area then there would be decrease in magnitude of pressure.
