Question

What is the relation between force (F), pressure (P) and area (A).
(a) P=F/A
(b) A=FP
(c) F=AP
(d) F2=PA

Answer 1

The relation between force (F), pressure (P) and area (A) is (a) P = F/A.

Force is defined as a physical exertion required to change the existing motion of a given body, when it is either stationary or already moving. Pressure is simply defined as the ratio of force acting to the area it acts on. Physically drawing an analogy, pressure is the force acting per unit area. This formula suggests that the pressure exerted increases as the area the force acts on decreases.

Answer 2

F=AP force is perssure exerted on total area
