9. Section 1:Pressure
Standard 8.8.d Students know how to predict whether an object will float or sink. Standard 8.9.f Apply simple mathematical relationships to determine a missing quantity in a mathematic expression, given the two remaining terms Force = pressure x area

10. What Is Pressure? What does pressure depend on?
The amount of pressure you exert depends on the area over which you exert a force.

11. Area
The area of a surface is the number of square units that it covers. To find the area of a rectangle, multiply its length by its width. The area of the rectangle below is 2 cm X 3 cm, or 6 cm2.

12. Area
Practice Problem
Which has a greater area: a rectangle that is 4 cm X 20 cm or a square that is 10 cm X 10 cm?
The square has the greater area.
4 cm X 20 cm = 80 cm2
10 cm X 10 cm = 100 cm2

13. Calculating Pressure
How is pressure calculated? Example: Calculate the pressure produced by a force of 800 N acting on an area of 2.0 square meters.
Pressure = Force / Area Pressure is measured in an SI unit called a pascal (Pa): 1 N/square meter = 1 Pa. P = F/A P= (800N) / (2.0 square meters) P = 400 N / square meter = 400 Pa

14. Calculating Pressure
The SI unit for pressure, the pascal, is named for French mathematician Blaise Pascal.
The SI unit for force, the newton, is named for English physicist Sir Isaac Newton.

15. Math Practice
Calculate the pressure produced by a force of 450 N on an area of 3 square meters. P = F/A P = (450 N) / (3 square meters) P = 150 N / square meter = 150 Pa What is the pressure on 2.5 by 3 meter area being acted upon by a force of 6000 N? P = 6000 N / (2.5)(3) square meters P = 6000 N / 7.5 square meters P = 800 Pa

16. Calculating Force from Pressure
How is force calculated from pressure? Force is expressed in Newtons (N)
Force = Pressure x Area Example The pressure of a gas contained in a cylinder with a movable piston is 300 Pa. The area of the piston is 0.5 square meters. Calculate the force that is exerted on the piston. F = P x A F = (300 Pa) x 0.5 m2 F = 150 N

17. Math Practice
The pressure of a gas contained in a cylinder with a movable piston is 700 Pa. The area of the piston is 0.2 square meters. What is the force that is exerted on the piston? F = P x A F = (700 Pa) (0.2 square meters) F = 140 N

18. Fluid Pressure How do fluids exert pressure?
All of the forces exerted by the individual particles in a fluid combine to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid.

19. Fluid Pressure Air pressure Balanced pressure
Air is a mixture of gases that make up Earth’s atmosphere. These gases press down on everything on Earth’s surface. Air exerts pressure because it has mass. Balanced pressure explains why the tremendous air pressure pushing on you from all sides does not crush you. Pressure from fluids inside your body balances the air pressure outside your body.
