When the area decreases _____(a) pressure increases(b) pressure decreases(c) pressure remains constant(d) the change in pressure cannot be determinedThe question was asked by my college professor while I was bunking the class.The query is from Fluids Mechanical Properties Pressure in section Mechanical Properties of Fluids of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

Right choice is (a) pressure increases

To elaborate: Pressure (P) = FORCE (F)/AREA (A)

From the above equation, we can see that the pressure is inversely proportional to area.

Hence, the pressure will INCREASE when the area is DECREASED.
