The formula to calculate the Force (F) from Pressure (P) is:
\[
F = \frac{P}{A}
\]
Where:
\( F \) is the force (N)
\( P \) is the pressure (N/m²)
\( A \) is the area (m²)
Definitions
Force (F): The interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. Measured in Newtons (N).
Pressure (P): The force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Measured in Newtons per square meter (N/m²).
Area (A): The measure of the extent of a two-dimensional surface or shape. Measured in square meters (m²).
Example
Let's say the pressure is 100 N/m² and the area is 5 m². Using the formula:
