40
Q

In science what tells us how concentrated a force is.

A

Force

Area

41
Q

What is high pressure

A

Big force➕small area=high pressure.

Hammer=big force-pressing on a nail=small area.

42
Q

Low pressure

A

Weight spread over a large area=low pressure
Camel is heavier than boy but doesn’t sink into the sand because it’s feet are large and cover more area which means it is low pressure.
