Respuesta :
The pressure exerted on a surface by an object increases as the weight/ force applied of/by the object increases. Alternatively, the pressure exerted decreases as the weight/force of/by the object decreases.
Pressure is defined as force per unit area. So, we can write the equation as:
Pressure = Force / Area
So pressure depends on force and surface area.
As force increases, pressure increases when surface area is the same.
Let us understand this by simple example:
Let two men sit on a bean bag turn wise. Weight of first man is 60 kg and that of other man is 50 kg.
Pressure applied by 60 kg man on surface area 1 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]
P = F/A = Weight/A = 60/1 = 60 N/[tex]m^{2}[/tex]
Pressure applied by 50 kg man on surface area 1 [tex]m^{2}[/tex]
P = F/A = Weight/A = 50/1 = 50 N/[tex]m^{2}[/tex]
So, a person weigh 60 kg exerts more pressure on a bean bag than a person weigh 50 kg.
From the equation given above, we can say
Pressure exerted on a body depends on two factors,
(a) the force applied on the body and
(b) the area over which force is exerted.
