What is the force on a surface divided by the area of that surface?
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.
What is divided by surface area to calculate pressure?
That is the force F. p = F / Awhere:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area (surface).
What happens to surface area of a tire when pressure is increased?
the surface area decreases.
The force pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure
What is the surface area of a pressure vessel?
The answer depends on the pressure vessel.
What quantity is divide by the surface area?
The quantity that is divided by the surface area is force. Force divided by surface area is equal to pressure.
Why do sharp kniveshave a small cutting surface area?
This is because the pressure exerted at the blade of a knife increases with diminishing surface area. The smaller the cutting surface area, the higher the pressure, and the easier it is to cut.
What force is pushing on a surface or area?
Pressure.
Does pressure increase with the amount of force per unit area?
Pressure is defined as the derivative of normal force with respect to surface area. Pressure is proportional to the normal force, and inversely proportional to the surface area. As the normal force over a surface area varies so does pressure. In the case that pressure is increasing then either the normal force is increasing, the surface area of which the normal force is being exerted is decreasing, or the combination of both of these is occurring.
What is the surface pressure on the sun?
The surface pressure of the earth is nominally 1013.25 hectoPascals (hP), which is also referred to as 1 The surface pressure of the earth will vary slightly according to weather conditions.
Why do skis have a larger surface area?
The larger the surface area the more pressure can be spread out, therefore it is less likely to fall through the snow. As pressure = f / a.
What is the force exerted on surface divided by the area over whech the force is exerted?
That's the pressure on that particular area.
