Pressure is a word that means force that is exerted on something. It can also indicate the act of pressing or pressing. It also corresponds to a greatness of the context of Physics.
In physics, pressure is a quantity quantified by the ratio of the force (F) to the area (A) of the surface in question, where the force is applied. It is possible to determine the pressure through some instruments, among them the manometer, the barometer, the piezometer and the vacuum gauge.
According to the International System, the pressure is measured in the unit N / m² (Newton per square meter), unit also known as pascal. There are other units like bar, PSI (equals 0.07 bar), mmHg, milibar, atm.
In a figurative sense, putting pressure on someone means influencing or forcing someone to do something. For example: He just broke that window because of the pressure of his friends.
