2. Pressure is the result of a force distributed over an area.
The unit of force is the newton (N).
The unit of area is the square meter (m2).
The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa). A pascal is one newton per square meter (N/m2)

3. Pressure
If the area of a box touching the ground is 1.5 square meters, and its weight is 2700 newtons, what pressure does the box exert on the ground?

4. A fluid is a substance that assumes the shape of its container.
Pressure in Fluids
A fluid is a substance that assumes the shape of its container.
Both liquids and gases are fluids.
Water, oil, gasoline, air, and helium are examples of fluids.

5. Pressure in Fluids
Particles in a liquid are tightly packed together but are able to slide past one another.

6. Pressure in Fluids
Particles in a gas are far apart and travel in straight lines until they collide with another particle or object.

7. Pressure in Fluids
Water in a glass is in contact with the walls and bottom of the glass, and it exerts pressure on these surfaces.
For a fluid that is not moving, depth and the type of fluid are the two factors that determine the pressure the fluid exerts.

21. Transmitting Pressure in a Fluid
Pascal’s Principle
The forces exerted against the walls of the container are equal at a given depth.
When squeezed, the pressure is transmitted equally throughout the fluid.

22. Transmitting Pressure in a Fluid
At any given depth, equal pressures act against all points on the inside of the bottle.
When the bottle is squeezed, the pressure still increases with depth. The pressure increases equally throughout the water.

23. Transmitting Pressure in a Fluid
The truck uses hydraulic-powered struts to lift its load. The larger area of the output piston produces the increased force.

24. Bernoulli’s Principle
Try this simple experiment.
Hold a sheet of paper by its top corners.
Position the paper directly in front of your mouth.
Blow over the top surface of the paper.
The far end of the paper lifts upward.

25. Bernoulli’s Principle
As the air blows across the top of the paper, the pressure exerted by the air decreases.
The motionless air below the paper exerts a greater pressure.
The difference in pressure forces the paper upward.

26. Bernoulli’s Principle
Wings and Lift
Bernoulli’s principle explains the ability of birds and airplanes to fly.
Air traveling over the top of an airplane wing moves faster than the air passing underneath.
The pressure difference between the top and the bottom of the wing creates an upward force known as lift.

27. Bernoulli’s Principle
Air flowing over the top of the wing is diverted up and over the wing’s curved surface.

36. The forces from pressure acting on the bottom of this golf ball are greater than those on the top.
This produces a net force—called the buoyant force—that acts upward on the ball.

37. Every object in a fluid experiences buoyancy.
Buoyant Force
Every object in a fluid experiences buoyancy.
Water pressure increases with depth.
Forces pushing up on the bottom of the object are greater than the forces from pressure pushing down on the top.
This upward force, which acts in the opposite direction of gravity, is called the buoyant force.

38. Archeimedes’ Principle
According to Archimedes’ principle, the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
A submerged object pushes aside, or displaces, a volume of fluid equal to its own volume.
A floating object displaces a volume equal to the volume of the part of the object that is submerged.

39. Density and Buoyancy
Two forces act on every object in a fluid—weight and the buoyant force.
The force of gravity, equal to the object’s weight, acts downward on the object.
The buoyant force, equal to the weight of the volume of displaced fluid, acts upward on the object.

43. Objects also float more easily in dense fluids.
Density and Buoyancy
Objects also float more easily in dense fluids.
The denser the fluid is, the greater is the weight displaced. The greater displaced weight results in a greater buoyant force.
This is why it is easier for a person to float in very salty water. The dense salty water produces a larger buoyant force when displaced by the person's body.

44. Assessment Questions
According to Archimedes’ principle, the buoyant force acting on an object is equal to
the weight of the object.
the pressure exerted by the fluid at the point of contact with the object.
