Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Pressure is directly proportional to the force. If the force acts on a large area, the pressure will be more, whereas if the force acts on a small area, the pressure will be less. Pressure is inversely proportional to the surface area on which force acts. It can be written as,
pressure(P)= force (F)area of the surface (A)
The SI unit of pressure is N/m2.
