Question

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

Answer 1

Answer: Force divided by area

Explanation: Gradpoint

Answer 2

Answer: force divided by area

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure
`P` is a physical quantity that measures the projection of the force in perpendicular direction per unit area.

In other words:

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

`P=(F)/(A)`

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