The pressure is the force per unit area. So, $P=F/A$

Pressure is defined as force applied per unit area. Hence, its SI unit is $N/{ m }^{ 2 }$ or Pascal here,

Pressure(P)$=$$ \frac{Force(F)}{Area(A)}$

As both the women have same weight, so both of them will apply the same force on the ground. But flat soles having larger area compared to sandals with pointed heels, will exert lesser pressure compared to that of sandals having pointed heels. So, the sandals with pointed heels will sink more. Therefore, the woman having flat sole sandal will feel more comfortable while walking on a sandy beach.

Pressure is defined as force per unit area. The standard unit for pressure is the Pascal, which is a Newton per square meter.

$P=\dfrac{F}{A}$

For an object sitting on a surface, the force pressing on the surface is the weight of the object, but in different orientations it might have a different area in contact with the surface and therefore exert a different pressure.

pressure acting sideways is known as lateral pressure .

Pressure can be defined as the force per unit area which can be written as $\dfrac{Force}{Area}$.

Although Force and Area, both are vector quantities, pressure is a scalar quantity.

Pressure affects substances in al the state whether it is liquid, solid or gaseous.

Pressure is the force acting on a unit area of a surface it can be written as pressure  $= \dfrac{force}{area}$
