    Identify the application of low pressure in everyday life.

    A)  Wide tyres of a heavy vehicle

    B)  Cutting of an apple with a sharp knife

    C)  Hammering of a nail into wood

    D)  All of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\text{Pressure}\,\text{=}\,\frac{\text{Thrust}}{\text{Unit}\,\text{area}}\text{.}\]If the area of the Unit area cross section is high, then low pressure is exerted due to thrust. In the case of wide tyres of a heavy vehicle, the pressure exerted by the tyres is less on the road.
