Option 1 : Green cube

Concept :

Pressure :

  • It is the force that acts on a unit area of a surface called pressure.
  • Pressure = force / area on which it acts

Explanation :

  • The smaller the area, the larger the pressure on a surface for the same force.
  • Example: The area of the pointed end of the nail is much smaller than that of its head.
  • The same force, therefore, produces a pressure sufficient to push the pointed end of the nail into the wooden plank.
  • A green cube with a side of 0.25 cm will exert more pressure on a flat table as it has less area as compared to a red cube having a side of 0.35 m and a yellow cube of side 0.5 m.

So, the correct answer is the green cube.

  •  S.I.unit of pressure is Pascal.
