1. Pressure = Force ÷ Area– More force = more pressure– Bigger area = less pressure
2. Pressure in fluids = ρ × g × h– Increases with depth, density, or gravity(ρ = density, g = gravity, h = depth)
3. Atmospheric Pressure at Sea Level= 101,325 Pa or 1 atm(Caused by air’s weight above us)
4. Hydraulic SystemsUse fluid pressure to move things.Small force on small piston = big force on big piston.
5. Gas Pressure: Ideal Gas Law
P=nRTVP = \frac{nRT}{V}P=VnRT
More gas, higher temperature, or smaller volume = higher pressure.
6. Uses in Engineering– Dams, airplanes, car brakes, pipelines, engines, submarines– Pressure keeps them safe and working right.
