    Pressure is a physical force exerted on an object by something in contact with it, and is calculated as the force applied divided by the contact area. Pressure results from the relationship between the force applied and its distribution area, and can be exerted by liquids, gases or solids. To calculate pressure, the force and contact area are needed, with pressure equal to force divided by area according to the pressure formula P = F/A, where P is pressure, F is force, and A is the area over which the force acts.

    What is pressure?

    - continuous physical force exerted on or against an object by something in contact with it.
    - Pressure is the relationship between a given force and its area of distribution. The term pressure
    is used in several branches of science as a scalar quantity that measures the action of one or
    more forces on a given space, which can be liquid, gaseous or even solid.

    How to calculate pressure

    - Calculating the pressure


    1. To calculate pressure, you need to know two things:
    2. Pressure is calculated using this equation:
    3. pressure = force ÷ area.
    - Pressure formula
    1. Simply the pressure formula is. P = F/A.
    2. Derivation. P = Pressure in Pascals. F = Force on the object. A = Area over which the force
    acts.
    3. Solution: We can find the density of by rearranging the pressure formula:
