What pressure means

What pressure means

Two blocks with the same downward force, one on a small area giving high pressure and one on a large area giving low pressure Pressure tells you how concentrated a force is on a surface. The same force on a smaller area gives a larger pressure, while spreading the force over a larger area gives a smaller pressure.
