pressure= force /area
The force exerted per unit of the charge a bond surface area is denoted as pressure (P): _______ The gases in the atmosphere exert a consistent force (or weight) on all surfaces, resulting in atmospheric pressure, which is generally around 14.7 pounds per square inch (lb /in2); psi) of surface pressure.
