If the same pressure is exerted over a greater area will more of less force result? Group of answer choices :
more force
less force
the same amount of force

Respuesta :

Answer:

More force

Explanation:

Pressure and force are related by the equation:

[tex]p=\frac{F}{A}[/tex]

where

p is the pressure

F is the force

A is the area

We can re-arrange the equation as

[tex]F=pA[/tex]

In this problem, the pressure is kept the same (p' = p) while the area is increased. As we can see from the previous equation, the force applied is directly proportional to the area: therefore, a greater area means also a greater force.
