  • Pressure: Definition, Formula, and Examples - Physics Explained
    The concentration of force in a given area is called pressure.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * Force: A push or pull that can change the motion of an object.

    * Area: The amount of space a surface covers.

    * Pressure: The force applied perpendicularly to a surface per unit area.

    Formula: Pressure = Force / Area

    Example: If you apply a force of 10 Newtons to a surface with an area of 2 square meters, the pressure is 10 Newtons / 2 square meters = 5 Pascals.
