Question

Define: Pressure.

Answer 1

1. Pressure is the amount of force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area.
2. It is a scalar quantity.
3. Mathematically it can be given as,

$\mathrm{Pressure}=\frac{\mathrm{Force}}{\mathrm{area}}=\frac{\mathrm{F}}{\mathrm{A}}$

4. Its SI unit is Pascal ( $\raisebox{1ex}{$\mathrm{N}$}\!\left/ \!\raisebox{-1ex}{${\mathrm{m}}^2$}\right.$).
