Pressure is the force exerted per unit area on the surface of an object. It measures how much force is applied over a certain area and is commonly expressed in Pascals (Pa) in the metric system or pounds per square inch (psi) in the English system.
The formula for pressure is:
𝑃=𝐹/𝐴
Where:
P is the pressure,
F is the force applied, and
A is the area over which the force is applied.
In this formula, pressure is directly proportional to the force and inversely proportional to the area over which the force is distributed.
