Pressure |
Force exerted over a unit of area p=f/a , p=ht x d |
|
Force |
Push or pull or weight not restricted to a certain area. Calculated over the entire area F= p x a |
|
Pascal |
Metric unit of pressure. Pressure produced when a force of one Newton is exerted over an area of one square meter |
