Distinguish between force and pressure

Answer 1

Force is a LOAD vector ( magnitude and direction) and is measured in pounds or Newtons

Stress is a load over an area and is measured in pounds per square inch or newtons per square meter

Answer 2

pressure is always act normal to the plane but stress may or may not be normal to the plane.it may act tangential or at certain angle to the plane. pressure is always act normal to the plane but stress may or may not be normal to the plane.it may act tangential or at certain angle to the plane.

Answer 3

No.

Force is the amount of energy applied in a certain direction.

Pressure is the amount of force on a certain area, for example on the walls of a container exerted by its contents.

Pressure can be expressed as ounces per square inch, or Newton per square meter and many other units. The SI unit of force is the Newton.

Pressure is also why you can lie on a bed of nails without getting skewered. The force your body applies to the bed is spread over all the nails. Because of this spreading the pressure on each separate nail is not enough to have it penetrate the skin -- if done right of course.

Answer 4

Force is a push or pull acting on an object, causing it to move or change shape. Pressure is force applied over a given area and can be thought of as the amount of force distributed per unit area. In other words, force is the interaction between two objects, while pressure is the intensity of force applied to a surface.

Answer 5

Pressure is force per unit area. force applied in perpedicular direction is called THRUST. Pressure=Thrust/ area

Answer 6

Force is an agency that changes or tends to change the state of rest or motion of an object. Whereas, pressure is the force per unit area on an object.

Answer 7

Pressure on a given area is directly proportional

to total force over that area.

Answer 8

Pressure if force per unit area.

Answer 9

Pressure = force / area
