Can you produce a lower pressure by decreasing the area a force acts on?

No, in fact you would be increasing the pressure. What you would have to do is increase the area while keeping the force constant which then would decrease the pressure.

How does decreasing the pressure of the rock affect the temperature at which it melts?
Decreasing the pressure on rock will allow rock to melt at lower temperature. High pressures will raise the melting point of rock.
How can a researcher ensure that water being used for an experiment will vaporize at a point lower than normal temperature?
By decreasing pressure in the container (: Plato is easy !
How does atmospheric pressure varies with depth?
The pressure increases as the atmosphere gets deeper. At lower levels of the atmosphere there is more fluid above that is being pulled by Earth's gravitational force .So, there is more pressure at lower levels of the atmosphere.
Do currents of cold sinking air produce regions of higher pressure or lower pressure at the earths surface?
Sinking air would add air to the surface, raising the pressure.
What is the name of the force that causes wind to blow?
Air is set in motion by the Pressure Gradient Force. The Coriolis Force is also relevant, which acts on air once it has been sent into motion (wind) by the PGF. However, don't confuse this Coriolis Force as a force CAUSING wind to blow as it only influences wind direction and NEVER wind speed.
What is the relationship between force area and pressure?
pressure = force / area Therefore pressure and force are directly proportional, meaning... The greater the force the greater the pressure and the lower the force the lower the pressure
How does decreasing the pressure of the rock affect the temperature at which it melts?
Decreasing the pressure on rock will allow rock to melt at lower temperature. High pressures will raise the melting point of rock.
How can you change states of matter by increasing decreasing preassure?
higher pressure will compress the particules and lower pressure will separate them
What force moves a tornado?
The great wind speed of a tornado is driven by a pressure gradient force. The pressure inside a tornado is lower than in its surroundings, so air is drawn inwards. The larger the difference in pressure over a given distance, the greater the pressure difference. Tornadoes produce a very large drop in pressure over a very short distance. Tornadoes generally move with the thunderstorms that produce them, which are in turn carried along by the large scale wind pattern.
How do venous pressures compare to arterial pressures?
Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.Much lower... because arterial walls get their pressure via force of the left ventricle pumping into the arteries. Veins are not exposed to such force and get their pressure via muscle pumps.
How can you get water to boil at 50 degrees Celsius?
By decreasing the pressure or using impure water.
How can a researcher ensure that water being used for an experiment will vaporize at a point lower than normal temperature?
By decreasing pressure in the container (: Plato is easy !
How does pressure depend on area and force?
Pressure gradiant force is the change of pressure measured across a given distsnce, resulting ina net force moving from high to low pressure and is responsible for the initial movement of air.
What happens as you go up a mountain?
Increasing elevation leads to a lower amount of air, mass, weight and pressure. It can also lead to a decreasing temperature.
What effect does dehydration have on blood pressure?
Serious dehydration is a form of hypovolaemic shock and would lower BP.
How does atmospheric pressure varies with depth?
The pressure increases as the atmosphere gets deeper. At lower levels of the atmosphere there is more fluid above that is being pulled by Earth's gravitational force .So, there is more pressure at lower levels of the atmosphere.
Which has higher air pressure hurricane or tornado?
For the most part they are about the same, but in extreme cases it is believed that tornadoes can produce lower pressures. Note that lower pressure actually makes a storm more intense.
