MathLivePressure formula
Pressure is the force acting perpendicular to a surface divided by the area over which it acts. It is used to estimate the pressure applied in devices such as diamond anvil cells, where a small force is concentrated on a tiny sample area.
p=\frac{F}{A}What the symbols mean
| pressure (Pa) | |
| normal force (N) | |
| area over which the force acts (m^2) |
