प्रश्न
Name two factors on which the pressure on a surface depends.
उत्तर
Factors affecting the pressure :
(i) The surface area (A) on which thrust acts. More area, lesser is pressure. (Area)
(ii) The magnitude of thrust (F) acting on the surface. (Force)
`because "P" = "Thrust"/"Area" = "F"/"A"`
More thrust more is pressure.

Assertion (A): A sleeping mattress is so designed that when you lie on it, a large area of your body comes in its contact.
Reason (R): This reduces the pressure on the body and sleeping becomes comfortable.
Define thrust.
Pressure is a scalar quantity because ______.
- it is the ratio of force to area and both force and area are vectors.
- it is the ratio of the magnitude of the force to area.
- it is the ratio of the component of the force normal to the area.
- it does not depend on the size of the area chosen.
