How to Use the Pressure Formula (P = F / A)

The Pressure Calculator helps you understand the relationship between pressure, force, and area in physics and engineering. By entering different values, you can see how these quantities interact and why pressure is important in scientific and real-world applications.

How to Use the Pressure Calculator

• Select which variable to solve for: pressure, force, or area.
• Enter the known values in the input fields, and select the appropriate units for each parameter.
• Click Calculate to see the result, with automatic unit conversion.

Parameters Explained

• Pressure (P): The amount of force applied per unit area, measured in pascals (Pa), kilopascals (kPa), bar, or pounds per square inch (psi).
• Force (F): The total force applied, measured in newtons (N), kilonewtons (kN), or pound-force (lbf).
• Area (A): The surface area over which the force is distributed, measured in square meters (m²), square centimeters (cm²), square inches (in²), or square feet (ft²).
• Unit Selection: Choose the appropriate unit for each value to match your calculation needs.

FAQs
