Answer: Option C

Pressure is a force shared over an area

Explanation:

Pressure is the result of a force shared over an area. Pressure is explained as the physical force applied on the body.

The applied force is perpendicular to surface of body per unit area.

The symbol used for pressure is P.

Formula:

P=F/A

Where:

Pis the pressure,

F is the magnitude of the normal force,

A is area of the surface.

The types of Pressures:

Absolute pressure Atmospheric pressure Differential pressure Gauge pressure
