  • Pressure is the amount of force per unit area acting perpendicular to a surface.
  • Pressure increases with increasing depth in fluids due to the weight of the fluid above exerting force on the surface below.
  • Pressure is the force applied per unit area.
  • The formula for calculating pressure (P) at any point in a liquid or gas is P = F/A, where F is the force applied by the fluid and A is the cross-sectional area over which it acts.
  • Pressure is the force applied per unit area.
