∙ 12y agoPressure equals the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted. It is typically measured in units such as pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force acting on the surface is divided by the surface area. Mathematically, pressure = force / area.
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force normal to the surface is divided by the surface area. The formula for pressure is pressure = force / area.
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted is called pressure. Mathematically, pressure is defined as force divided by area (P = F/A), measured in units such as Pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
Pressure is defined as the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted. It is measured in units of force per unit area, such as Pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
Doubling the surface area on which a force is being exerted reduces the pressure by half. This is because pressure is force divided by surface area. So, if the force remains the same while the surface area doubles, the pressure decreases.

That's the average 'pressure' on the surface.
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force acting on the surface is divided by the surface area. Mathematically, pressure = force / area.
To calculate the pressure exerted on a surface, the force normal to the surface is divided by the surface area. The formula for pressure is pressure = force / area.
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
That's the definition of the 'pressure' which the force exerts on the surface.
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted is called pressure. Mathematically, pressure is defined as force divided by area (P = F/A), measured in units such as Pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted gives the pressure acting on that surface. Pressure is defined as force per unit area and is measured in units like Pascals or pounds per square inch (PSI).
Pressure is defined as the force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted. It is measured in units of force per unit area, such as Pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).
That is usually called pressure. For forces within solids, it may also refer to the stress.
