  • Force and Pressure                               

  • Pressure is the force exerted on a unit area of a surface.
    P =F/A
  • P =  is the equation of pressure. And unite of pressure is Nm-2 or Pascal.
  • According to Pascal’s principle “pressure applied on a liquid in a closed container is transferred equally in all directions throughout the liquid”.
  • In hydraulic system the force is transferred from one place to another with the help of a liquid.
  • A mechanism in which works on the Pascal’s principle of fluid pressure and transmit force one place to another is called a Hydraulic system.
  • Hydraulic press is a machine which works on the Pascal’s principle.
  • Hydraulic breaks also works on the Pascal’s principle.
  • The study of behavior of gases under pressure is called pneumatics.
  • Robert Boyle, a British scientist, studied the behavior of a gas under pressure.
  • The atmospheric pressure around us at the ground level is about 100,000Pa or 100KPa.
  • Atmospheric pressure decrease with increase in height from earth’s surface.
  • Barometer is a device which is used for the measurement of atmospheric pressure.
  • When we increase the temperature of a gas, then it increase the pressure of the gas movement of the molecules also increase which result in increase of pressure.
  • Aerosol is a suspension of tiny liquid particles dispersed in a gas present in a closed container.
  • Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted on the surface of any objects by the atmospheric gas.
