Study Notes
Unit 6: Pressure
- This unit covers states of matter, basic concepts of pressure, examples, pressure and fluids, absolute pressure, and related questions.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three main states: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solids have a definite volume and shape.
- Liquids have a definite volume, but no definite shape.
- Gases have neither a definite volume nor a definite shape.
Basic Concepts of Pressure
- Pressure is the magnitude of force applied perpendicular to a unit area.
- Pressure = Force / Area
- The SI unit for pressure is Pascal (Pa).
- 1 Pascal = 1 N/m².
- Other non-SI units for pressure include atm, bar, mmHg (Torr).
- 1 atm = 1.01 bar = 1.01 x 10⁵ Pa = 760 mmHg (Torr)
Pressure and Area
- The greater the area affected by a force, the lower the pressure.
- Pressure is inversely proportional to the area.
Pressure and Fluids
- Fluids include liquids and gases.
- Fluids exert pressure in all directions.
- Pressure in a fluid at rest (static) is equal at all points at the same depth.
- Pressure increases with depth in a fluid.
Hydrostatic Pressure
- Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a static fluid at a point.
- It depends on the fluid's density, the depth, and the acceleration due to gravity.
- Hydrostatic pressure = density × gravity × depth (pgh)
Absolute Pressure
- Absolute pressure is the pressure relative to a vacuum (zero pressure).
- For a fluid open to the atmosphere, the absolute pressure is the sum of atmospheric pressure and gauge pressure.
- Absolute pressure = Atmospheric pressure + Gauge pressure.
Example Calculations
- Examples provided show calculations involving pressure, force, area, and fluid properties for various scenarios.
Questions
- Sample questions are given, covering calculations related to pressure in fluids. These questions include concepts involving depth, density, and atmospheric pressure.
