Study Notes
Operational Definition of Pressure
- Pressure can be operationally defined as the force exerted per unit area on a surface.
Properties of Pressure
- The principle of transmitted pressure states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
Pressure Variation
- Pressure varies with the height of a given fluid.
This quiz explores the operational definition of pressure and how it can be defined and described in practice. Test your understanding of operational definitions and their application to pressure.
