Resource summary

Pressure/Density
  1. Density
    1. is the amount of material in a particular volume which allows us to compare the different shapes of materials in Kg/m3 or g/cm3.
      1. Density=mass/volume
        1. E.G: Aluminium; mass=110g,volume=40cm3,density=110/40=2.750
          1. Mass(grams)
            1. Volume(cm3)=LxWxH
              1. Volume of a cylinder=Pi x r2 x h
                1. Used when finding the volume of a liquid
                2. Volume of a cube=l x l x l
                  1. Use Eureka can to find the volume of a uneven solid
                3. Pressure
                  1. is the effect of a force spread out over an area.
                    1. Pressure= force/area
                      1. Pressure (N/m2) or (Pascal)
                        1. Force (Newtons)
                          1. Area (m2)
                            1. Pressure under water.
                              1. Pressure increases with depth (height) of the water, the type of water (density) and the gravitational force.
                                1. Pressure= Height x Density x Gravitational force
                                  1. Pressure (Pa)
                                    1. Height (m)
                                      1. G ( 10 on earth N/Kg)
                                        1. Density (Kg/m2)
                                    2. Pressure acts in all directions.
                                      1. Experiment to compare pressure in gas and liquid
                                        1. 2 syringes and a tube joining them together with air/water one side and nothing the other.
                                          1. Gas: As the force is applied to the 1st syringe it creates pressure which pushes the air throughout the tube and into the 2nd syringe.
                                            1. Liquid: The liquid acts the same as the gas but moved further because space between molecules cannot be reduced.
