Trying to remember my forces. I think pressure is either a potential force... or a static force.

Amount of force exerted per unit?

The amount of force exerted per unit area is known as pressure. It is calculated by dividing the force applied on an object by the area over which the force is distributed. Pressure is commonly measured in units such as Pascals (Pa) or pounds per square inch (psi).


What happens to pressure when force decreases?

If force decreases, pressure decreases as well. Pressure is directly proportional to force, so when force decreases, the pressure exerted by the force also decreases.


How is force pressure and area related?

Force, pressure, and area are related through the equation pressure = force / area. This means that pressure is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to area. Increasing force applied on a given area will increase the pressure, while increasing the area over which the force is applied will decrease the pressure.


How does pressure vary with force?

Pressure is directly proportional to force, according to the formula pressure = force/area. This means that as force increases, pressure also increases as long as the area remains constant. So, a greater force applied over the same area results in higher pressure.


What kind of system multiplies by transmitting pressure to another part of a contained fluid?

A hydraulic system multiplies force by transmitting pressure through a confined fluid to another part of the system. When force is applied to one part of the fluid, it generates pressure which is then transferred to another part, allowing for amplification of force or movement.
