I am confused about the concept of pressure force.
Let's say we have some pressure acting on a flat plate. Would the force associated with this pressure be oriented into or out of the plate? Intuition obviously tells me that the pressure force is acting into the plate, but the math appear to be saying it is acting out of the plate.
