What to Focus On

  • Fluids can flow.
  • Liquids have definite volume but no fixed shape.
  • Gases fill the entire container.
  • Pressure is a scalar quantity.
  • Pressure acts through the normal component of force.
  • SI unit of pressure is pascal.
  • Pressure is same at the same height in a fluid at rest.
  • Pressure increases with depth.
  • Absolute pressure at depth h is Pa + ρgh.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pressure is a vector because it is force divided by area.

Pressure at a depth depends on the shape or area of the container.

Gauge pressure and absolute pressure are the same.

Memory Tips

Pressure is a scalar quantity

Average pressure formula

Pascal’s law

Hydraulic lift mechanical advantage
