Pressure (part 3)
by CHONG QING LI VIVIEN .
1. What is pressure? Pressure is the amount of force acting per unit area.
2. How do we increase pressure? Example: A person wearing high heels. If the area of the surface area on contact with the ground is smaller, so that the foot will feel more balanced and would not exert much pressure.
3. How do we decrease pressure? Example: Camel's foot The area of the surface area of the camel in contact with the ground is big so that the foot will feel more balanced and it does not exert much pressure or force on the ground.
