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.
