That's the definition of the 'pressure' which the force exerts on the surface.
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.

Pressure
That's the average 'pressure' on the surface.
The force that is exerted on a surface divided by the area of the area is pressure. The standard unit of pressure is the Pascal.
Newtons/square meters.
PSI? Pressure per square Inch (or some other measurement).
That is usually called pressure. For forces within solids, it may also refer to the stress.
That is usually called pressure. For forces within solids, it may also refer to the stress.
That's the pressure on that particular area.
The force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted is the pressure. Pressure = Force / Area Pascals = Newtons/ square meters Pa = N/m^2 or psi = lb/in^2 (pounds per square inch)
That is called pressure. For example, the SI unit for pressure is the Pascal, which is equal to newtons / square meters.
