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.

\( p \) = pressure | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
\( A \) = area | \(ft^2\) | \(m^2\) |
\( F \) = force | \(lbf\) | \(N\) |
