Understanding Pressure Concepts

This video tutorial covers the concept of pressure, including solid, liquid, and gas pressures, and their applications. It explains Archimedes' principle and Pascal's law, and how these principles apply to real-world scenarios like vehicles, ships, and living organisms. The video also discusses the role of pressure in biological systems, such as plant water transport and human blood circulation, providing examples and calculations to enhance understanding.

What is the formula for calculating pressure?

• P = A / F

• P = F + A

• P = F x A

• P = F / A
