Which of the following factors affect pressure? This question has multiple correct options
- A. Area
- B. Accleration
- C. Force
- D. None
Step-by-step solution
Pressure is defined as force per unit area. Thus, both the applied force and the area over which the force is distributed affect the pressure. Changing either force or area changes the pressure. Therefore, both options A (Area) and C (Force) are correct factors. Acceleration alone does not directly affect pressure unless it results in a force. Since the question allows multiple correct options, the correct choices are A and C. However, for a single selection, A is one of them.
