1. force

1.1. a push or pull

1.2. effect

1.2.1. change the speed of moving obeject

1.2.2. change the size and shape of moving object

1.2.3. start/ stop a moving object

1.2.4. change the direction of moving object

1.3. SI unit:newton(N)

1.4. intruments used to measure force

1.4.1. force gauge

2. pressure

2.1. what is pressure?

2.1.1. amount of force either a push or pull exerted perpendicularly on a certain area

2.1.2. force per unit area applied

2.1.3. SI unit: newton per metre square(N/m²)/ pascal(PA)

2.2. higher pressure as

2.2.1. more force applied

2.2.2. smaller contact area

2.3. lower pressure as

2.3.1. less force applied

2.3.2. larger contact area

2.4. formula
