How is the pressure of an object defined?

The pressure of an object is defined as the force exerted on a surface divided by the area over which that force is distributed. This relationship can be expressed with the formula:

Pressure = Force ÷ Area.

Pressure measures how concentrated a force is in a given area; for example, a sharp object exerts more pressure compared to a broad object under the same force because the force is applied over a smaller area. This is why option B is the correct answer, as it accurately reflects the definition of pressure, emphasizing how force relates to the area it acts upon.

The other choices do not represent the concept of pressure: multiplying force by velocity relates to the concept of power, mass divided by volume gives you density, and weight multiplied by distance describes work done. Thus, only option B aligns with the established definition of pressure in physics.
