What is the relation between pressure, area and force.

Open in App

Solution

Dear student.
Pressure is defined as the force acting perpendicular per unit area.

We can say force F is acting perpendicular to an area A, when pressure is applied.

Thus pressure experienced by the area A will be P = F/A

SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa). It is the pressure exerted perpendicularly by a force of 1N on an area 1 m².

1 Pa = 1 N/1m².

Regards.
