What does pressure in a fluid cause
a force normal to any surface
2
New cards
How can pressure at the surface of a fluid be calculated
Pressure \= force / area (p \= F/A)
3
New cards
What is pressure measured in
pascals (Pa)
4
New cards
What is force measured in
newtons (N)
5
New cards
What is area measured in
metres squared (m^2)
6
New cards
How can the pressure due to a column of liquid be calculated
pressure \= height x density x gravitational field strength
7
New cards
How can height of the column be measured
metres (m)
8
New cards
How can density be measured
kilograms per metre cubed (kg/m^3)
9
New cards
Where do partially submerged objects experience a greater pressure
greater on the bottom surface than on the top surface
10
New cards
What does this pressure cause
upthrust
11
New cards
What is upthrust
a resultant force upwards
