The force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it?

air pressure

Atmospheric pressure.. maybe

In Star wars they use the lightning force.

The particles of gas press on Earth's surface and on everything they surround. The force put on a given area by the weight if the area above it is called air pressure or atmospheric pressure. ...

What do you mean "... based on"? The athmosperic pressure is "weight of air" and it can be measured. Strikly speaking: "force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface at any given point" (wikipedia) Ap could be given in force/area units for example lb/sq ft, kg/sq meter etc. ...

Pressure = force / area, but > Force (weight) of water = mass * acceleration > Select a depth, choose an area the weight of water is acting on ( say 1 square inch ) calculate the force (weight) of the water column above that area (in pounds) Divide force by area = pressure (pounds per square inch (psi)) Dont forget to add atmospheric pressure (psi) to the answer. ...

The amount of force exerted on a given area is just the amount of force. When it's divided by the area, however, the result is the pressure on that area. ...

Pressure = force / area

The deeper you go, the greater the weight of the masses of Earth above. Pressure is simply force (weight) divided by area. ...

Pressure. It is measured as a given force applied over a given area.

For a very basic explanation, pressure is the amount of force in any given area. Hydrostatic pressure, or fluid pressure, is the amount of force exuded at equilibrium due to gravity. So at any given point in a fluid, the pressure is equal to the weight of the fluid above it as well as the depth below it. ...

That is what we call as the pressure exerted by the atomosphere.

pressure is force divided by area, so the greater the area the less the pressure for a given force ...

for a given weight (force), reducing the contact area ie thinner strap, increases the pressure proportionally pressure (pascals) = force (newtons)/ contact area (m^2) half the area = twice the pressure weight of bag * 9.81 = downward force in newtons ...

P = F/A, so Area = Force/Pressure

Atmospheric pressure is the force per unit area exerted on a surface by the weight of air above that surface in the atmosphere of Earth. ...

is the force exerted on a given area

Pressure on a given area is directly proportional to total force over that area. ...

This would be the total force. The force exerted on unit area is the air pressure. ...

As long as there isn't any deformation of the surface...meaning that the coefficient of friction remains constant, then "Friction is independent of Surface Area". You may find this hard to believe, but think about the math. The force of friction is equal to the coefficient of friction times the weight (force/area) of the object as measured perpendicular to the surfaces in contact. The weight of an object would be given as lbs/in2 or lbs/ft2 . The coefficient of friction is given as a...

the answer is 2800N/m2 to calculate this you have to do force (N) or weight (Kg) divided by the area so i did 700 / 0.25 = 2800 remember pressure = force or weight / area ...

Force applied on unit area gives pressure. S.I. unit is pascal.

Force exerted on a given area divided by the area would give the pressure or thrust. It is also termed as stress in case of elasticity. Its unit is N/m2 or also known as pascal. ...

That is pressure. It is the force over an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. p = F / A where: p is the pressure, F is the normal force, A is the area. ...

we know pressure = force/area we can calculate force from this equation therefore force =mass *acceleration a=9.8 finally we obtain the mass. ...
