1. Define pressure
- It is defined to be the amount of force exerted per area. P = F A or P=AF. This
definition also means that the units of pressure are newtons per square meter N/m 2
which are also called pascals or abbreviated as Pa.

2. What are the types of pressure?


Type of pressure
 Absolute Pressure - it is related to this reference pressure.
 Atmospheric pressure – it is subject to weather-dependent fluctuations.
 Differential pressure – it is the difference between two pressures.
 Overpressure – it also know as gauge pressure.

3. Explain the relationship between pressure and force.


- pressure is the force applied perpendicular to an object per unit of area which the force
is equal to the pressure that is inversely proportional to the area.
