Pressure

Today, I started reading through my phsics textboook to learn more about pressure. Then, I found out that it was all around use. Some examples are when wooden planks break because of a weight that was put on it. It is because the pressure exerted was too much for the plank to take.

The formula for pressure is Force(N)/Area(m square)

Other than this, I also leearnt one new thing, that is that our body has 1 atmospheric pressure pushing out to stop our bodies from being crushed by the atmospheric pressure that is exerted on us.
