3. How will the pressure vary if:
a. force is doubled while keeping the area constant?
b. force and area both are tripled?
c. area is doubled while keeping the force constant?

Dear Student,
3.a) if force is doubled while keeping the area constant then pressure will also be doubled.
as we know,pressure,P=FforceAareaPFif F is doubled then pressure will also doubled.

b) if force and area both are tripled then pressure remains constant.
we know,P=FAfor this case,P=3F3A=FA
c) if area is doubled while keeping the force constant then pressure will be halved.
we know,P=FAso,P1Afor this case,P12Aso,pressure will be halved.
