Difference between Force and Pressure.


Force:

* Force is essentially a push, or a pull action, that can lead to certain outcomes.

* It can deform a body or can change the state of motion of a body.

* Mathematically, it is the product of mass and acceleration.

* Some examples of force are gravitational force, magnet force, etc.


                                             Force = mass x acceleration


Pressure:

* The pressure is defined as force per unit area.

* Mathematically, the pressure is nothing but force divided by area. Here the force is

in the numerator and the area is in the denominator

                                          $\displaystyle Pressure=\frac{Force}{Area}$
