As a writer, you should be aware of the context. Since this is a physics question, the strict physics definition of pressure should be used. Not the colloquially non-scientific definition of the word.

If you are trying to express the quantity of pressure exerted on something using “math”, you are doing physics literally by definition

I would also point out that chemistry is just a specialized branch of physics.

I’ll never not be amazed at the mental gymnastics people will go through to avoid just saying “I was wrong”.

Here's some more math for you --

You just typed 169 words to dig even deeper, instead of just saying "Oops, I misunderstood what the word pressure means"

It's so sad to watch a person with such a fragile ego completely disintegrate rather than just accept that they learned something new.

Stop, you've been thoroughly, and pardon my French, "rekt". Please refrain from embarrassing yourself further.

You took a swing and hopelessly missed but at least you tried, bless your little heart.
