If an object's surface area is smaller does it create more or less pressure?
more pressure
What is pressure?
the force per unit area
state the equation used to calculate pressure.
Pressure = force / area
How has the change affected the force on the floor, and the pressure exerted by the briefcase on the floor?
A. force - unchanged, pressure - decreased
