🔪 PRESSURE
PAGE 1 OF 5 — FORCE OVER AREA
WHAT IS PRESSURE?
SAME PUSH, DIFFERENT SQUEEZE
Pressure tells you how concentrated a force is. In simple form, pressure equals force divided by area. Push with the same force on a tiny tip and the pressure soars. Spread that force over a wide pad and the pressure drops. That is why a sharp knife slices food while a blunt butter knife mostly squishes.
🔪 P = F/A
Pressure is force divided by the area where the force is applied.
