    Pressure is defined as a force acting per unit area. The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa). Pressure depends on the magnitude of force and the contact area - larger force or smaller area means higher pressure. Examples of high pressure include knife blades and ice skates, while low pressure examples include building foundations and snow shoes. Liquid pressure is caused by the weight of the liquid and depends directly on depth, density, and gravity. It can be calculated using the formula P=hpg, where P is pressure, h is depth, p is density, and g is gravitational field strength.
