Difference between force and pressure

The Fluid mechanics is important subject for all Competitive exams, so let's learn about Concept of Difference between force and pressure, helps to modernize our society.

So keeping these things in mind, Lets learn about the topic of Difference between force and pressure.

Question:- What is Difference between force and pressure?

The comparison between Force and pressure is as follows:-

What is Force?

Force:-

The force is defined as the push and pull action, that are resulting in the accelerating the object, is called as force.

The force is mass into acceleration and the SI unit of force is Newton (N).

The force having magnitude and direction that means the force is a vector quantity.

The instrument used for measuring force is dynamometer.

The force is acting on the faces sides edges and vertices of the object.

The examples of forces are:-The force of bat applying on ball,The force of foot pushing the pedal etc.

What is Pressure?

Pressure:-

The pressure is defined as the force acting on the certain area in perpendicular direction to its surface is called as pressure.

The pressure is force per unit area and the SI unit of pressure is Pascal or N/mm2.

The pressure having magnitude only that means the pressure is a scalar quantity.

The instrument used for measuring pressure manometer.

The pressure is acting only on the surface or face of the object.

The examples of pressure are:- Holding the knife to the fruits, Cutting nails with the help of nail cutter etc.

Difference between Force and pressure is as follows:-

Difference between force and pressure

No.	Force	Pressure
1.	The force is defined as the push and pull action, that are resulting in the accelerating the object, is called as force.	The pressure is defined as the force acting on the certain area in perpendicular direction to its surface is called as pressure.
2.	The force is mass into acceleration.	The pressure is force per unit area.
3.	Formula for force is, Force = mass × acceleration	Formula for pressure is, Pressure = Force/area
4.	The force is denoted by alphabetical letter, F	The force is denoted by alphabetical letter, P
5.	The SI unit of force is Newton (N).	The SI unit of pressure is Pascal or N/mm2.
6.	Mathematically,  F = m × a	Mathematically,  P = F/A
7.	The force having magnitude and direction that means the force is a vector quantity.	The pressure having magnitude only that means the pressure is a scalar quantity.
8.	The instrument used for measuring force is dynamometer.	The instrument used for measuring pressure manometer.
9.	The force is acting on the faces sides edges and vertices of the object.	The pressure is acting only on the surface or face of the object.
10.	The velocity of an object is changed by application of force.	The velocity of an object does not change by the application of pressure.
11.	The examples of forces are, The force of bat applying on ball, The force of foot pushing the pedal etc.	The examples of pressure are, Holding the knife to the fruits, Cutting nails with the help of nail cutter etc.
