Name two factors on which the pressure on a surface depends.
Advertisements
उत्तर
Factors affecting the pressure :
(i) The surface area (A) on which thrust acts. More area, lesser is pressure. (Area)
(ii) The magnitude of thrust (F) acting on the surface. (Force)
`because "P" = "Thrust"/"Area" = "F"/"A"`
More thrust more is pressure.
