Pressure

Pressure is how much force is put onto a particular area

Pressure equals force divided by area
Pressure is measured in Pascals (Pa)
Presure of a weight onto a car

The pressure is smaller when a force is applied over a big area
because the pressure is spread out over a big area.

The pressure is bigger when a force is applied over a small area
because the pressure is confined to a small area.
