Physics - Pressure

?
If the same weight was plaed on a smaller and larger surface area, which would have more pressure? (larger or smaller surface area?)
smaller as the weight is all forced onto a smaller point

how do you calculate pressure acting on a surface?
pressure = force normal (perpendicular/right angel) to a surface (N) /surface area (m squared)

1 N per m squared is equal to 1...
pascal (1 Pa)

How do you calculate pressure in a liquid? (not pressure acting on surface, but the pressure of the liquid itself)
pressure = density x depth x GFS (gravitational field strength)
