Which word expression describes how to calculate pressure? force divided by area force multiplied by area area divided by force area minus force

Respuesta :

Answer: force divided by area

Explanation:

Pressure [tex]P[/tex] is a physical quantity that measures the projection of the force in perpendicular direction per unit area.

In other words:

Pressure is the force [tex]F[/tex] exerted by a gas, a liquid or a solid on a surface (or area) [tex]A[/tex], its unit is Pascal [tex]Pa[/tex] which is equal to [tex]N/m^{2}[/tex] and its formula is:  

[tex]P=\frac{F}{A}[/tex]

Hence, the correct expression for pressure is force divided by area.
