a) Define pressure. What are the relation between pressure, force, and area? State the units in which pressure is measured.
b) Explain why school bags are provided with wide straps to carry them?
a) The pressure is defined as force acting per unit area. Different units of pressure are Pascal, Newton per square meter, atmosphere, torr, bar, and meters seawater.
The relation between pressure, force, and the area are:
P = F/A
b) School bags are provided with wide straps to carry them because the force gets distributed throughout thereby reducing the pressure.
