What is the equation for pressure when the force is perpendicular to the surface area?
Pressure of solid on a solidWhen you apply a force to a solid object, the pressure is defined as the force applied divided by the area of application. The equation for pressure is: P = F/AwhereP is the pressureF is the applied forceA is the surface area where the force is appliedF/A is F divided by AFor example, if you push on an object with your hand with a force of 20 pounds, and the area of your hand is 10 square inches, then the pressure you are exerting is 20 / 10 = 2 pounds per square inch.
How much pressure is required to lift one ton?
Assuming you need a metric ton, that's 1000 kilograms. To lift that, you need a FORCE of 9800 newtons. Force is related to pressure by: pressure = force / area, so the answer to the original question would depend, over what area the force is applied.
What is the formula relating pressure and force to area?
pressure = force/area force = pressure x area area = force/pressure
What mathematical formula relates pressure force and area?
Pressure =Force/Area
What is the formula relating pressure force?
Pressure = force / area
What is force and pressure?
pressure is not a force but pressure is a force applied in per unit of area
When the force applied on an object is doubled how does the pressure applied on an object change?
It will be double, if the area is unchanged. pressure=Force/area
Is pressure a force?
Pressure is not a force. Pressure is force per unit area over which it is applied.
Amount of force applied to an area?
pressure
When the area over which a force is applied decreases what increases?
When the area over which a force is applied decreases, the average force applied over said area increases. In other words, the pressure (force/area) increases.
What is the measure of force applied to a particular area?
Pressure
The force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which the force is exerted?
Pressure is the force exerted on an object divided by the area where the pressure was applied.
What does the pressure on a surface depend on?
The amount of force applied and the area of the surface to which it is applied.
What is the pressure exerted by a piston if a force of 12N is applied over an area of 1.2m squared?
Pressure is force / area. Just divide the force by the area. The answer is in pascal.
What is the force applied to an area?
Pressure is defined as the force per unit area. It is expressed in Pascals
What do you do to increase the amount of pressure by whwere the force is applied?
Since Pressure is Force per Unit Area (P = F/A), there are intuitively two ways to increase pressure. You can either keep the area constant and increase the force being applied, or keep the force constant and decrease the area on which the force acts.
What is a measure of the amount of force applied to given area?
pressure
