What is the different between force and pressure and how will one notice that this is pressure or force?

Force as we all know from elementary education is just a push or a pull...
You may say that seawater above an operating submarine is exerting millions of Newton of Force (Newton is unit for force) to the submarine below it..
Now its not easy to imagine or visualize how dangerous that force is taking into consideration the size of the submarine itself...
However instead of talking about the total force acting on the whole submarine, we go a little simpler and talk about something we can visualize..
We then say that in every square inch on the surface of the submarine, there is this amount of force that the above seawater exerts- that's Pressure..
Pressure is just Force, but it is a Force described with respect to the surface area it is being exerted...
10 N is a Force. But 10 N pushing a 1 sq cm wall equals a pressure of 10N/sq cm

Why is there no horizontal buoyant force on an submerged object?
Because the buoyant force is the result of different pressure at different depths, and there is no difference in pressure horizontally.
What is the difference between tension and pressure in physics?
There is a huge difference between tension and pressure in physics. Tension refers to a pulling force and pressure refers to a pushing force.
What is the relationship between pressure force and volume?
Pressure is a force applied over an area. Volumes have internal pressures.
What is the msthematical relationship between force pressure and area?
p= F/A. Or in words, pressure is a force per unit area.
That is the difference between force and pressure?
Pressure deals with the impact on a particular surface while force is the total impact on a particular surface
What are relationships between pressure and force and between pressure and area?
pressure is force divided by area
What is relationship between pressure and force?
Pressure = Force/Area
What is the mathematical relationship between force pressure and are?
Pressure = Force/Area.
What is the relationship between force area and pressure?
pressure = force / area Therefore pressure and force are directly proportional, meaning... The greater the force the greater the pressure and the lower the force the lower the pressure
What is the relation between pressure and force?
Pressure is defined as force per area
What is the difference between thrust and pressure-?
what is the difference between thrust and pressure?
What are the two differences between force and pressure?
a force is a push or pull and pressure is a a push
What is the main difference between pressure and area?
Pressure and area are different units. Area is the extent of a surface a two dimensional spatial unit. Pressure is force per area.
What is the relation between force and preesure?
Pressure = force / area
Why is there no horizontal buoyant force on an submerged object?
Because the buoyant force is the result of different pressure at different depths, and there is no difference in pressure horizontally.
What is the difference between tension and pressure in physics?
There is a huge difference between tension and pressure in physics. Tension refers to a pulling force and pressure refers to a pushing force.
How does water pressure work on someone swimming in a pool?
Pressure acts on any body of water, but you have to go really deep to notice the force.
