Pressure in a Fluid

What does pressure in a fluid cause

a force normal to any surface

How can pressure at the surface of a fluid be calculated

Pressure \= force / area (p \= F/A)

What is pressure measured in

pascals (Pa)

What is force measured in

newtons (N)

What is area measured in

metres squared (m^2)

How can the pressure due to a column of liquid be calculated

pressure \= height x density x gravitational field strength

How can height of the column be measured

metres (m)

How can density be measured

kilograms per metre cubed (kg/m^3)

Where do partially submerged objects experience a greater pressure

greater on the bottom surface than on the top surface

What does this pressure cause

upthrust

What is upthrust

a resultant force upwards
