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 \(1\, Pa = 1 \space N/m^2\).

Define pressure. Explain the relationship between pressure and force. Calculate force given pressure and area. You have no doubt heard the word pressure being used in relation to blood (high or low blood pressure) and in relation to the weather (high- and low-pressure weather systems).
law relate pressure, volume and temperature of gases (they are usually combined into the ideal gas law); the Stefan-Boltzmann law tells you how much energy a hot object emits; Wien’s displacement law tells you the colour of that hot object; the Dulong-Petit
15.1: Pressure. Page ID. The pressure exerted by a force, →F , over a surface with area, A, is a scalar quantity, P, defined as: P = F ⊥ A. where F ⊥ is the component of the force perpendicular to the surface. The SI unit for pressure is the Pascal (Pa).
The pressure inside the vacuum chamber is less than atmospheric pressure, so the pressure gauge on the chamber reads a negative value. Unlike gauge pressure, absolute pressure accounts for atmospheric pressure, which in effect adds to the pressure in any fluid not enclosed in a rigid container.
By the end of this chapter, you should be able to: 1. (a) Define: – Pressure and state its S.I unit and other units; (b) State: – The conditions for Pressure in liquids. (c) Describe: – An experiment to show that liquid pressure depends on depth. – How to measure liquid and gas pressure using manometer.
Pressure is the ratio of the force applied to the area over which it is exerted. A solid in contact with a fluid experiences a force all over its outer surface. chaos
