Force and Pressure Differences in Physics Import Concepts Must to Know

Question. Difference Between Force and Pressure.

Answer:

Force:

  • The push or pull on an object with mass that causes it to change its velocity.
  • Force is an external agent capable of changing the state of rest or motion of a particular body. It has a magnitude and a direction.
  • The direction towards which the force is applied is known as the direction of the force and the application of force is the point where force is applied.
  • The Force can be measured using a spring balance.
  • The SI unit of force is Newton .

Pressure:

  • The amount of force exerted (thrust) on a surface per unit area is defined as β€˜Pressure’ . It can also be defined as the ratio of the force to the area (over which the force is acting) .

Types of Pressure:

  1. Atmospheric Pressure
  2. Absolute Pressure
  3. Differential Pressure
  4. Gauge Pressure

Differentiating PropertyForcePressure
DefinitionIt is the push and pull action resulting in the acceleration of the object.It is the force acting upon a certain area, perpendicular to its surface.
Unit and SymbolIts unit is Newton and its symbol is .Its unit of measurement is Pascal and its symbol is .
Instrument to measureIt is measured by a dynamometer.It is measured by a manometer.
Vector/Scalar quantityIt is a vector quantity due to having magnitude and direction both.It is a scalar quantity because it does not have direction.
Acted uponIt can be acted upon on the face, edges, side or vertices of the object.Pressure only acts on the surface or face of the object.
VelocityThe velocity of the object can change due to force in one direction.The velocity of the object cannot change due to pressure.
