Under Pressure: The Knee-Pain Equation

Physics nerds will feel this one in their knees! The formula P = F/A is pressure equals force divided by area. When you concentrate all your body weight (force) on the tiny cross-sectional area of your knees, you're basically turning yourself into a human hydraulic press. That's why kneeling on LEGO bricks feels like medieval torture—the smaller the area, the more intense the pressure! Next time someone asks why you're in pain after praying at the altar of physics, just tell them you've become intimately familiar with Pascal's principle.
