How do you Calculate Pressure

• Force(N)/Area(m²)

• Force(kg)/Area(mi²)

• Area(m²)/Force(N)

Pressure can be measured in Pascals (Pa) or Newtons per square metre.
1 Pa = 1N/m2

• True
• False

A fluid can be...

• a gas
• a liquid
• a liquid or a gas
• a solid

What is the equation used to calculate pressure?

• pressure= force/mass
• pressure =mass/volume
• pressure=area/force
• pressure=force/area

Pressure decreases when the surface area over which a force is applied increases

• True
• False
