When we pin a sheet of paper with a pushpin, does the pushpin pierce the paper and not the finger? No doubt, the force affecting the finger and the paper is identical. When we are on skis, do we not fall into the snow? Without skis, we do it.  
 

The same force can have different effects. When a body stands on a support, its weight acts on the support. But does it matter how the body is positioned on the support? Will it lie on its larger or smaller side?
 

Let's try to cut a piece of bread with two different knives. Why does the same force that we apply to each knife produce a different result? One knife cuts bread poorly, it breaks it more, and the other one is perfect.
 

Different knives cut bread differently.

It's all about how well the cutting edge of the blades of these knives is sharpened. The thinner the cutting edge, the better the knife cuts. What does better mean? This means that in both cases, we applied the same force, but the result of the action of this force was different. The point is that the area over which this force was distributed was different.

All in all, we all have many examples from our own life experiences. Imagine standing on loose snow, whether on skis or on foot. In one scenario, we won't fail, but in the other, we'll sink deeply into the snow.
 

All this indicates that altering the area over which one and the same force is distributed leads to the fact that the result of the action of this force is different. All these examples are related to pressure.  If you need to convert pressure measurements to different units, please utilize the pressure units converter, calculator.
