Worked example

Find the pressure when Force = 500 N, Area = 0.25 m².

Using p = F/A: Pressure = 2000 Pa.

Frequently asked questions

What is the formula for Pressure?

p = F/A.

What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?

Pressure in Pa, Force in N, Area in m².

How do you calculate pressure?

Put the values into p = F/A. For example, with Force = 500 N, Area = 0.25 m², pressure = 2000 Pa.

Can I solve for a different value?

Yes. In the calculator above, pick the circle next to any value (pressure, force, area) and fill in the others: it rearranges the formula for you.
