What Is Pressure?
Pressure is the ratio of the force applied perpendicular to a surface to the surface area. When the same force is applied to a smaller area, the pressure increases.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
P = F ÷ A
- Enter the force (N) and the area (m²).
- Divide the force by the area.
Unit: pascal (Pa = N/m²).
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do sharp tips penetrate more easily?
Because a small contact area greatly increases the pressure, the same force penetrates more easily.
