Pressure is force per area, so P = F/A where pressure is P, force is F and A is area. So Pressure is directly proportional to the force exerted on a surface. So increasing a force by a factor of 2, say, increases the pressure on the surface by 2 also.

P=F/A.

Why does area affect the pressure?
By definition: pressure is measured as FORCE per AREA.
Does pressure increase with the amount of force per unit area?
Pressure is defined as the derivative of normal force with respect to surface area. Pressure is proportional to the normal force, and inversely proportional to the surface area. As the normal force over a surface area varies so does pressure. In the case that pressure is increasing then either the normal force is increasing, the surface area of which the normal force is being exerted is decreasing, or the combination of both of these is occurring.
What is the force action on a surface?
Force divided by surface area is called pressure, if that's what you mean.
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
What does the pressure on a surface depend on?
The amount of force applied and the area of the surface to which it is applied.
What is divided by surface area to calculate pressure?
That is the force F. p = F / Awhere:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area (surface).
What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
The force pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure
Why does area affect the pressure?
By definition: pressure is measured as FORCE per AREA.
What quantity is divide by the surface area?
The quantity that is divided by the surface area is force. Force divided by surface area is equal to pressure.

Pressure is defined as the derivative of normal force with respect to surface area. Pressure is proportional to the normal force, and inversely proportional to the surface area. As the normal force over a surface area varies so does pressure. In the case that pressure is increasing then either the normal force is increasing, the surface area of which the normal force is being exerted is decreasing, or the combination of both of these is occurring.
What force is pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure.
Force can be calculated as pressure x area. what will produce the most force?
greater pressure on less surface area!
What is the force action on a surface?
Force divided by surface area is called pressure, if that's what you mean.
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
What is the force exerted on surface divided by the area over whech the force is exerted?
That's the pressure on that particular area.
How can the pressure acting on the surface be increased by the force acting on the surface?
Simply pressure is the force per unit area. So Pressure is directly proportional to the force applied. Hence by increasing the force we can increase the pressure.
