Definition
Pressure is the effect of a force over an area.
It is the force acting over 1 m2.
Therefore, the definition of pressure is: pressure is the force per unit area.
Equation
\(Pressure~p=\frac{\text{Force F}}{\text{Area A}}\)
\(p=\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}\)
Where:
- p = pressure in pascals Pa
- F = force in N
- A = area in m2
| \(p =\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}\) | \(p = F \div A\) |
| \(F = pA\) | \(F = p \times A\) |
| \(A =\frac{\text{F}}{\text{p}}\) | \(A = F \div p\) |
| \(p =\frac{\text{F}}{\text{A}}\) |
| \(p = F \div A\) |
| \(F = pA\) |
| \(F = p \times A\) |
| \(A =\frac{\text{F}}{\text{p}}\) |
| \(A = F \div p\) |
