Resource summary
Pressure
is FORCE per unit AREA
measure of force being applied to the surface of comething
Force = Newtons
Area = mxm OR cmxcm
P = F ÷ A
Pressure = N/m2 N/cm2 Pa
1Pa = 1N/m2
The same force over a larger area creates a smaller pressure
in Liquids and Gases
at rest, pressure at any point acts equally in all directions
pressure increases with depth
higher at bottom of sea than at top
Pressure difference = height x density x gravity
Pressure = Pa
Height = m
Density = kg/m3
Gravity = 10 N/kg (on earth)
