Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula for Pressure?
P = F / A, where F is force and A is the area.
What is the SI unit of pressure?
The Pascal (Pa). 1 Pa = 1 Newton per square meter (N/m²).
What is atmospheric pressure?
The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, approx 101,325 Pa (1 atm) at sea level.
How does area affect pressure?
Pressure is inversely proportional to area. Smaller area = higher pressure for the same force (e.g., a sharp knife).
