Aforce acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area.
true
false

True

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as:

where

F is the magnitude of the force perpendicular to the surface

A is the surface

Therefore, pressure is inversely proportional to the area of the surface:

this means that, assuming that the forces in the two situations (which have same magnitude) are both applied perpendicular to the surface, the force exerted over the smaller area will exert a greater pressure. Hence, the statement"

"A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area"

is true.

the answer is c.)
