Question

Equal amount of pressure is applied on two surfaces with different surface areas. For such a condition, which of the following statement is correct?

Options:

A . Both the surfaces experience the same force.

B . The surface having more surface area experiences more force.

C . The surface having less surface area experiences more force.

D . Both the surfaces experience zero force.

Answer: Option B
:
B

According to formula $P r e s s u r e P = \frac{F o r c e (F)}{A r e a (A)}$
or $F = P \times A$ .
So, for the same amount of pressure P, if we increase the surface area A of an object, force experienced by that object is increased.
