Concetti Chiave

  • Pressure is the ratio of force acting perpendicularly to a surface area, measured in pascals.
  • Pascal's Principle states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished throughout the fluid and its container.
  • Liquids are incompressible, and Pascal's Principle applies to both liquids and gases, although gases transmit pressure more slowly.
  • Archimedes' Principle describes buoyancy, where an object in a fluid is buoyed upward with a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
  • Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level supports a mercury column of 76cm or 760mm, measurable with a barometer.

P = F/A

unit of measure is pascal.

The pressure P is the ratio of the force F acting perpendicularly to a surface area A.

Pascal's Principle

Pressure applied to an eclosed fluid is transmitted undimnished to every part of the fluid and to the walls of the container. Pressure is a force acting on a liquid which must act on a container area.

Liquids are relatively incompressible.

Pascal's principle is applicable both to liquids and gases. The pressure on a gas is not transmitted as quickly as in a liquid.
-Buoyancy: an upward force acting on an object in a liquid that balances part of the object's weight.

-Buoyancy force: the upward acting force.

-Archimede's principal: an object in a fluid is buoyed upward with a force equal to the weight of the volume of the fluid displaced by the object. This principal applies to gases as well as liquids. An object will float in a fluid if the density of the object is less than or equal to the density of the fluid.

Standard Atmospheric Pressure

-Standard atmospheric pressure at sea level supports a column of mercury 76cm or 760mm in height. Barometic pressure is reported in inches, centimitres or millimitres of mercury. (one torr = 1mm of Hg)

-Atmospheric pressure is measured by means of a barometer.
-Speed: rate of movement (scalar)

-Velocity: the speed of something in a particular direction (vector)

Motion involves a change of position in time.

Is the velocity at any given instant in time.
