- The “push” behind liquid or gas in a tank, reservoir, or pipe. Water pressure is directly related to “head”—the height of the top of the water over the bottom. Every 2.31 feet of vertical head gives 1 psi (pound per square inch) of water pressure.
- To advance a runner so it directly bears on an opponent's blot, forcing the opponent to cover the blot, move it, or risk it being hit.
- Force per unit area exerted by the atmosphere on any surface by virtue of its weight; it is equivalent to the weight of a vertical column of air extending above a surface of unit area to the outer limit of the atmosphere.
- (symbol: p) is a measure of force per unit area. The SI unit for pressure is the pascal (Pa), equal to one newton per square metre (N·m^-2 or kg·s^-2·m^-1). Non-SI measures (still in use in some parts of the world) include the pound-force per square inch (PSI) and the bar. ...
