Pressure, Force and Area – Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Maths
Pressure, force and area are connected by a simple formula. Once the relationship is understood, the formula can be rearranged depending on which quantity needs to be found. Pressure, Force and Area The basic relationship is: To find pressure: P = F / A To find force: F = P × A To find area: A = F / P What the Symbols Mean P represents pressure. F represents force. A represents area. Units * Pressure is measured in pascals (Pa), where 1 Pa = 1 N/m². * Force is measured in newtons (N). * Area (A) is measured in square metres (m²). Understanding the Formula Pressure describes h...
