Question

In order to calculate pressure exerted on a surface, what quantity is divided by the surface area? a force b mass c altitude d volume

Answer 1

Force, as pressure unit is N/A.

Answer 2

a) Force

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that pressure is defined as Force Exerted normal to a given surface per unit Area

So here it is given as

`Pressure = (Force)/(Area)`

`P = (F)/(A)`

so here we can say that pressure gives force in the normal direction or perpendicular direction per unit area

Its SI unit is given as Newton per square meter
