hi friend!
Mathematically,
Force = Mass * Acceleration
Whereas
Pressure = Force/Area
Most simple explanation of Force is that anything which causes acceleration to a body having mass.
Pressure is a physical quantity, a measure of how much force is applied to an unit area.
More the Force, Greater the impact
Less the Area, Greater the impact
P = F/A
Well I believe you can understand this mathematical relation without any effort.
Just simple direct & inverse proportions.
Differences
Force is a vector quantity,
Pressure is often considered either scaler or vector.
Pressure is always perpendicular/normal to the surface of body. Unlike other quantities similar to it such as tension which can be parellel to surface too.
hope my answer helps you
