Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area on a surface. It is a scalar quantity, meaning it has magnitude but no direction. The formula to calculate pressure (P) is: \\\[ P = \\frac\{F\}\{A\} \\\] where: - \\( P \\) is the pressure, - \\( F \\) is the force applied, - \\( A \\) is the area over which the force is distributed.
