    Pressure

     

    Definition:

     

    Pressure is a fundamental concept , defined as the amount of force applied per unit area. 

     

     

    Mathematically, pressure P is expressed as:

    P = F / A

     

    where:

    • P is the pressure in Pascals (Pa).
    • F is the force applied perpendicular to the surface in Newtons (N).
    • A is the area over which the force is applied in m2

     

     Units:

     

    Pressure is commonly measured in Pascals (Pa), which is equal to one Newton per square metre (N/m²). 

     

    The pascal is the SI unit of pressure and is defined as one newton per square metre (N/m²). It is widely used in scientific and engineering contexts, providing a standard unit for pressure measurements.
