Introduction

Pressure and moments are both types of forces. Pressure has the symbol p on the periodic table but moments aren‘t symbolised on the table.

High and low pressure

Pressure is the amount of force that an object produces on another object. Some objects have high pressure such as stilettos and some have low pressure such as dice.

The pressure formula

• This is the pressure formula and it is how all pressure is calculated. Pressure is force divided by area.
