How to Calculate Force Based on Pressure dummies
Pressure and force are related, and so you can calculate one if you know the other by using the physics equation, P = F/A. Because pressure is force divided by area, its meterkilogramsecond (MKS) units are newtons per square meter, or N/m2. In the footpoundsecond (FPS) system, the units are pounds per square inch, or psi. []
