A force F is applied on a uniform rod of cross-section A and a force F’ is applied on a uniform rod of cross-section 3A. What is the relation between F and F’ if the pressure on both is the same?(a) F/F’ = 1/3(b) F/F’ = 3(c) F’/F = 1/3(d) F/F’ = 1/9This question was addressed to me in quiz.My doubt stems from Fluids Mechanical Properties Pressure topic in chapter Mechanical Properties of Fluids of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Correct CHOICE is (a) F/F’ = 1/3

To explain: PRESSURE on first rod (P) = F/A

Pressure on the SECOND rod (P’) = F’/3A

Given;

P = P’

F/A = F’/3A

F/F’ = 1/3.
