Want this question answered?
pressure
The amount of force applied and the area of the surface to which it is applied.
The surface area
Force applied on unit area gives pressure. S.I. unit is pascal.
Since Pressure is Force per Unit Area (P = F/A), there are intuitively two ways to increase pressure. You can either keep the area constant and increase the force being applied, or keep the force constant and decrease the area on which the force acts.

The Amount Of Force
Force per unit area is called "pressure".
Force applied on unit area gives pressure. S.I. unit is 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.
