Amount of force applied to an area?
pressure
What does the pressure on a surface depend on?
The amount of force applied and the area of the surface to which it is applied.
What is the measure of force applied to a particular area?
Pressure
What is the pressure exerted by a piston if a force of 12N is applied over an area of 1.2m squared?
Pressure is force / area. Just divide the force by the area. The answer is in pascal.
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.
When the area over which a force is applied decreases what increases?
When the area over which a force is applied decreases, the average force applied over said area increases. In other words, the pressure (force/area) increases.
When the force applied on an object is doubled how does the pressure applied on an object change?
It will be double, if the area is unchanged. pressure=Force/area
Amount of force applied to an area?
pressure
It is given that force a equals 5 lb and the area which force a is applied to is 1 square inch if the area to which force b is applied is 108 square inches what is the value of force b in lbs?
540
What does the pressure on a surface depend on?
The amount of force applied and the area of the surface to which it is applied.
What is force and pressure?
pressure is not a force but pressure is a force applied in per unit of area
What is defined as force applied over a unit area?
Force per unit area is called "pressure".
What is the measure of force applied to a particular area?
Pressure
Is pressure a force?
Pressure is not a force. Pressure is force per unit area over which it is applied.
What is the pressure exerted by a piston if a force of 12N is applied over an area of 1.2m squared?
Pressure is force / area. Just divide the force by the area. The answer is in pascal.
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.
How pressure is mesured?
Measure the force being applied and divide by the area it is being applied over.
