What is defined as force applied over a unit area?

Force per unit area is called "pressure".


What is the relationship between air pressure and wind?

pressure = 0.002558 times velocity squared where velocity is miles per hour and pressure is pounds per square foot for example a wind of 75 mph produces a pressure of 0.002558x75x75 = 14 .39 pounds per square foot since there are 144 sq in in one sq ft that is 14.39/144 = 0.1 pounds per square inch In meteorological terms, differences in pressure are what drive wind. Air generally moves toward an area of low pressure. However, due to the rotation of the earth it gets deflected in large scale weather patterns. It is deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.


What simple machine is a nutcracker an example of?

it is a third class lever which means the input force is between the fulcrum and the load.


What is the difference between stress and strain and tension?

Stress is the tension/compression force per unit area.Strain is the ratio of change of length to the original length, due to applied force.Tension is the applied force which tends to elongate the body.


Difference between rapture disk and psv and relife valve?

Rupture disks and pressure safety valves (psvs) are both types of relief valves. Rupture disks are thin sheets of metal that break at a designated pressure and can only be used one time. Pressure safety valves also relive at a specified pressure, but work by a spring and can relieve multiple times with little or no damage to the relief device.

What is the relation between force and preesure?

Pressure = force / area


What is the relation between force and area?

Pressure 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.


What is the relation between pressure and surface area?

Pressure is inversely proportional to surface area. This means that as surface area decreases, pressure increases and vice versa, given a constant force. This relationship is described by the equation: Pressure = Force / Area.


What are relationships between pressure and force and between pressure and area?

pressure is force divided by area


Has any relation between osmosis pressure and water activity?

There is definitely a strong relation between osmosis pressure and water activity. Osmosis is the movement of water from high pressure to low pressure.


What is the relation between pressure and friction?

Friction is directly proportional to pressure.


What is relationship between pressure and force?

Who is the first discovered the relation between motion and force?

the answer is sir. isaac newton galileo galilei explained only the relation between motion and force


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 relation between pressure and height?

Pressure decreases as height increases and vice-versa.


How does pressure relate to force and what is the connection between the two?

Pressure is the amount of force applied over a given area. The relationship between pressure and force is that pressure increases when the force applied is greater or when the area over which the force is applied decreases. In other words, pressure and force are directly related - as force increases, pressure also increases.
