How it works
P = force ÷ area
Pressure is force spread over an area. The same force on a smaller area gives higher pressure — why sharp blades and high heels press hard.

Frequently asked questions
What is a pascal?
One newton of force per square metre — the SI unit of pressure.
Why does area matter?
Smaller area concentrates the force, raising pressure; larger area spreads it out.
