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.

Pressure is a force exerted by a gas or liquid, and is measured in so many units of force per unit area covered. The most common one we meet is pounds per square inch, in your car tyres for instance. So the actual force experienced is the pressure times the area which it acts on

THE SIMPLE RELATION BETWEEN PRESSURE AND AREA WITH A CONSTANT FORCE IS

THAT THEY ARE INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL TO EACH OTHER MEANS IF AREA INCREASES THEN PRESSURE DECREASES AND IF AREA DECREASES THEN PRESSURE INCREASES

P = 1/A

P=pressure

A=area

Pressure is the force over an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. p = F / A where:

p is the pressure,

F is the normal force,

A is the area.

when area decreases pressure increases and when area increases pressure decreases
