This document discusses force, pressure, and their relationships. It defines force as a push or pull and explains that the magnitude and direction of a force can vary. Pressure is defined as force per unit area. Thrust is a force acting perpendicular to a surface. Atmospheric pressure is measured using a barometer and is caused by the weight of the air above. Liquids exert pressure determined by depth according to Pascal's law, which states that pressure applied to a liquid at any point is distributed equally throughout. Examples of applications include hydraulic lifts and brakes.
