Does Force Mean Pressure

Pressure is defined to be the amount of force exerted per area. So to create a large amount of pressure, you can either exert a large force or exert a force over a small area (or do both).

What is relation between force and pressure?

The pressure is a concept which rises when force is applied to a unit area; in simple words, the pressure is the force per unit area. According to the formula P = F/A, the pressure is directly proportional to the force, i.e. if force is more, the pressure will also be more.

Why do we use pressure instead of force?

We use pressure in the case of liquids and gases because the force they exert on objects is distributed over the area of the object. There is no single “force” being applied.
