Which of the following statements define the pressure? Pressure is a force distributed over a length O Pressure is a force distributed over an area o Pressure is a force distributed throughout a closed volume Pressure is the weight of the substance/object under consideration None of the above

Answer 1

Answer: Option C

Pressure is a force shared over an area

Step-by-step explanation:

Pressure is the result of a force shared over an area. Pressure is explained as the physical force applied on the body.

The applied force is perpendicular to surface of body per unit area.

The symbol used for pressure is P.

Formula:

P=F/A

Where:

Pis the pressure,

F is the magnitude of the normal force,

A is area of the surface.

The types of Pressures:

• Absolute pressure

• Atmospheric pressure

• Differential pressure

• Gauge pressure
