When the area over which a force is applied decreases, the average force applied over said area increases. In other words, the pressure (force/area) increases.

What happens when area of contact is increased?
When area of contact increases between two objects, then the pressure applied decreases. Here is the formula: Pressure(Pascals)=Force(newtons)/area(metre2)
If you increase force keeping the area the same what happens to pressure?
if force increaces and area stays the same then pressure
What term describes the amount of force applied to a given area?
Pressure
What is the definition of stress and strain as applied to a wire?
Type your answer stress; the force applied perunit surface area of the body that produce or tends to produce deformation in a body is called stress if a force F to a area A of a body then stress=force/area or o=f/a where o (stigma) denotes stress.obviously, the SI unit of stree is newton pper square meter(Nm-2). strain; the fractonal deformation resulting from astree is called strain
Using the kinetic theory explain why the pressure of a gas increases when the temperature increases?
When the temperature of a gas increases, the Kinetic Energy of the particles increases. This means that they move faster and apply a greater force when they collide with the walls of the container. As pressure is the force per unit area on the container, the pressure increases. This is Gay-Lussac's "Pressure Temperature" Law: "P = kT".
What happens when area of contact is increased?
When area of contact increases between two objects, then the pressure applied decreases. Here is the formula: Pressure(Pascals)=Force(newtons)/area(metre2)
What is the relationship between area and pressure of a constant force?
The area over which a force acts, is proportional to the pressure. When the area is large then, the pressure acted on it is also large, so the force is greater.
When area reduces pressure increases or decreases?
Pressure is force divided by area, i.e. P = F / A. So the smaller A is, the larger P is. That is, when area reduced pressure increases.
Why the pressure of fluid decreases as area of pipe decreases?
Your question has an error, the pressure increases as area of pipe decreases or the pressure decreases as the area of pipe increases. Answer: Conservation of energy
When you increase the area over which pressure is applied?
The pressure decreases because P = F/a where "P" is pressure, "F" is force, and "a" is area.
How does resistivity vary if length and area are doubled?
if length is doubled then resistivity increases&when area is doubled resistivity decreases.
What pressure is created when 5.0 n of force are applied to an area of 2.0 msquare how does the pressure change if the force is increased to 10.0 n what about if instead the area is decreased to 1.0m?
A force of 5 n applied to an area of 2 m2 is a pressure of 10 Pa (pascal). Increase the force to 10 n, and the pressure increases to 20 Pa. Decrease the area to 1 m2, and the pressure decreases to 5 Pa.The pascal is the SI unit of pressure equal to one newton of force pressing on one meter squared.
When the force applied on an object is doubled how does the pressure applied on an object change?
It will be double, if the area is unchanged. pressure=Force/area
What will happen in force when area decreases?
pressure will increase
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.
How hydraulic lifts work?
Force is equal to pressure times area. By increasing the area of the output force, the force goes way up. This is because water cannot be compressed, and therefore the pressure cannot change. In this way, a hydraulic device works almost like a lever. It increases the area of the output force and therefore decreases the amount of input force needed.
What happens to the intensity of a bright fringe when the wavelength of the light is increased?
It decreases. This is because the same amount of energy is distributed over a larger area (wavelength increases, so fringe spacing also increases). Energy per unit area decreases and this is why intensity decreases.
