20 lut 2022 · Pressure is the force per unit perpendicular area over which the force is applied. In equation form, pressure is defined as \(F=PA\). The SI unit of pressure is pascal and \(1\, Pa = 1 \space N/m^2\).
Fluid pressure can be in an enclosed container or due to gravity or motion. The pressure can also be amplified through hydraulic mechanisms and changes with the velocity of the fluid. Questions you may have about pressure in fluids are: • How does gravity cause fluid pressure? • How does air and water pressure apply in all directions?
Pressure. Pressure is force per unit area: P F = A. The direction of the force exerted on an object by a fluid is toward the object and perpendicular to its surface. At a. microscopic level, the force is associated with the atoms and molecules in the fluid bouncing elastically from the surfaces of the object.
• Explain the concept of pressure the in human body. • Explain systolic and diastolic blood pressures. • Describe pressures in the eye, lungs, spinal column, bladder, and skeletal system.
There are three important observations about pressure in a fluid. At any point that a fluid is in contact with a surface, the pressure is directed perpendicular to the surface. At any point inside a fluid, the pressure is directed in all directions with the same magnitude. (See figure 10-1).
This relatively short chapter deals with the pressure under the surface of an incompressible fluid, which in practice means a liquid, which, compared with a gas, is nearly, if not quite, incompressible. It also deals with Archimedes’ principle and the equilibrium of floating bodies.
