Force applied per unit area is termed as A) acceleration B) pressure C) gravitation D) friction

Force applied per unit area is termed as pressure.

Explanation: "Pressure" is defined as the force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which that force is distributed.

Option B is correct .

Other options are incorrect, as acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, gravitation is a force attracting objects towards the Earth, and friction is a force that opposes motion between two surfaces.

The correct answer is B) Pressure.

Pressure is simply the force applied over a certain area. The smaller the area, the higher the pressure, which is why sharp objects cut easily. It's measured in Pascals (Pa).

Hello there,

The correct answer is: B) Pressure

Explanation:

Pressure is the force applied per unit area on a surface. It is given by the formula:

Pressure = Force/Area

where Force (F) is measured in Newtons (N) and Area (A) in square meters (m²), making the unit of pressure Pascal (Pa) = N/m² .

• More area: Less pressure (e.g., Snowshoes prevent sinking in snow)
• Less area: More pressure (e.g., Needles pierce easily due to sharp tips)
  
  Why not the other options?
  
  
• A) Acceleration – Rate of change of velocity, not related to force per area.
• C) Gravitation – The force of attraction between masses, not pressure.
• D) Friction – The resisting force between two surfaces, not force per unit area.
