Passage Pressure is defined as the force exerted over a unit of area. \[\text{Pressure}\,\text{=}\frac{\text{force}}{\text{area}}\] Place a book on a bathroom scale and, whether you place it on its back, on its side, or balanced on a corner, it still exerts the same force. The weight reading is the same. Now balance the book on the palm of your hand and you sense a difference - the pressure of the book depends on the area over which the force is distributed. If a force of 20N is applied on the surface of area 0.1 m2 then pressure experienced is
