To find the pressure exerted on a surface (which is measured in Newtons per square metre or Pascals, both measurements being equal to convert,) you must divide the surface area of the object exerting pressure by the force applied to it in Newtons.

Pressure is equal to the amount of force exerted on an object divided by the volume over which the force is exerted?
Over the area not volume
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
Is The pressure exerted on an object by a fluid always parallel to the surface of the object?
No. It is not.
Why are forces exerted on a submerged object due to water pressure not balanced?
Forces are exerted on a submerged object due to water pressure not being balanced due to buoyancy. This is when the pressure at the bottom of the submerged object is greater than the fluid on the top of the object, thus projecting the object upward.
What is exerted when an object is submerged in a fluid and the fluid pushes in on the object?
We say the liquid exerts pressure on the object.
Pressure is equal to the amount of force exerted on an object divided by the volume over which the force is exerted?
Over the area not volume
How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a liquid or a gas?
The pressure exerted by a solid object is in only one direction.
How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a gas or liquid?
The pressure exerted by a solid object is in only one direction.
When the double force applied on the object then how does the pressure exerted on the object change?
When the double force applied on the object then the pressure exerted on the object will also be doubled.
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
Is The pressure exerted on an object by a fluid always parallel to the surface of the object?
No. It is not.
Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is what?
balanced pressure
Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is?
Balanced Pressure
Why are forces exerted on a submerged object due to water pressure not balanced?
Forces are exerted on a submerged object due to water pressure not being balanced due to buoyancy. This is when the pressure at the bottom of the submerged object is greater than the fluid on the top of the object, thus projecting the object upward.
What Air pressure exerted equally on an object from different directions is what type of pressure?
constant pressure
What is exerted when an object is submerged in a fluid and the fluid pushes in on the object?
We say the liquid exerts pressure on the object.
How does pressure exerted by a solid object on a surface differ from pressure exerted within a liquid or gas?
In a liquid or gas the pressure at any given point is the same in all directions. In a solid the pressure can vary depending on direction. So, for example, the vertical pressure can be greater or less than the horizontal pressure.
