Fluid Pressure

Fluid pressure is the force exerted by a fluid, such as a liquid or a gas, on the walls of a container or any surface with which it comes into contact.  It is the result of the continuous collisions of fluid particles with the surfaces they encounter.

 

Fluid PRESSURE formula
\(\large{ p =  \frac { F } { A }  }\)
Symbol	English	Metric
\(\large{ p }\) = pressure	\(\large{\frac{lbf}{in^2}}\)	\(\large{Pa}\)
\(\large{ A }\) = area	\(\large{ft^2}\)	\(\large{m^2}\)
\(\large{ F }\) = force	\(\large{lbf}\)	\(\large{N}\)
