Pressure in Fluids

When pressure is applied to a confined fluid, the increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid. This fact is called________.

• Pascal's Principle
• Newton's Principle
• Archimedes' Principle
• Bernoulli's Principle

What is the SI unit of pressure?

• Kg/m³

• Pa

• kg m^-3

• N m²

What is the formula for pressure?

• P = F / A

• P = F A

• P = A / F

• F = P / A

The pressure resulting from a force of 50 N exerted over an area of 5 m² is

• 10 Nm²

• 0.1 Nm²

• 10 N m^-2

• 0.1 Pa

In what direction(s) does air exert pressure?

• everywhere
• no where
• there is no pressure
• downward

When force increases...

• pressure increases

• pressure decreases

• pressure stays the same

• pressure increases then decreases

When area increases...

• pressure increases

• pressure decreases

• pressure stays the same

• pressure increases then decreases

Any substance that can easily flows and therefore can easily change shape.

• Fluid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Solid
