What happens to pressure of the force exerted on a given area increases?

The pressure exerted outward by fluids in your body balances the pressure exerted by the atmosphere on the surface of your body.
the pressure increases

From the above it is clear that if the force remains constant, but the area over which it acts increases then the pressure will decrease.

The force exerted by the weight of a column of air on a surface is called?
Air Pressure The force exerted by the air above is called?
What force put on a given area by the air above?
We know that force acting perpendicularly on an area is thrust & thrust acting on an unit area is called pressure. Pressure exerted by wind or air hasn't been classified individually,rather we all together say it atmospheric pressure. And it is nearly 100000 Pa. so we may say it as atmospheric pressure. -----Akashraj Ghosh, Kharagpur
As you go deeper into the earth what increases?
temperature and pressure density and the force of gravity
Does the volume of water affects erosion?
Yes, if depth is increased as a result. Because P=pgh, or Pressure = density x grativational acceleraton x depth, if an incarease in volum leads to an increase in depth (not length or width of a container or area), then pressure increases. Then, since P=F/a, or Pressure = Force/ area, as pressure increases, force increases (again, provided that the area of the applied force does not increase. With net force increasing, the rate of erosion will increase.
As you get closer to the Earth the air pressure decreases or increases?
in order to make things clear, I would like to explain how is the pressure measured and what does it mean... pressure is the force (weight) exerted by an object on a specific area. and by this we can define the atmospheric pressure as the weight of the column of air ,that extends from earth to the exosphere; the upper limit of our atmosphere, divided by the area. now by increasing the length of that column (and consequently increase the weight) we increase the pressure,and the same thing can be applied when decreasing the length.
Why does the pressure exerted by a gas does not depend on the type of gas?
The pressure that the gas exerts on the walls of any vessel has to do with the force that the particles of gas were exerted as a consequence of their very own kinetic energy. That helps know why the gas does not have to depend on the type of gas.
What is the force exerted by air in all directions?
The force exerted by air in all directions is called air pressure. It is caused by the collisions of air molecules with surfaces. Air pressure is exerted equally in all directions and decreases as altitude increases.
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 happens when a fluid at constant pressure is moved to a smaller areas?
Force increases.
Why does pressure increases when force is exerted?
If the temperature of the gas is increased, the average kinetic energy of its molecules increases. Therefore, the molecules hit the wall "harder" and also more frequently. The total force due to the collisions is greater. Therefore the pressure increases.
What is the number of times a machine increases the force exerted on the machine?
The number of times a machine increases a force exerted on it is called mechanical advantage.
As the pressure gradient increases wind velocity increase decrease or remains the same?
As the pressure gradient increases, the wind velocity increases. This is because a larger pressure gradient indicates a greater difference in pressure between two points, leading to a stronger force exerted on the air. This stronger force results in faster wind velocities.
Why does building foundations have a large horizontal area of contact with the ground?
this is because when the area of contact between the ground and the building increases the pressure exerted by the building will be less for the same force.
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 do you call the force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure
What is the scientific definition of force?
Pressure depends on the quantity of force exerted and the area over which the force is exerted
What happens when a fluid at constant pressure is moved at a smaller area?
Force increases.
