What to Focus On
- Pressure = Force/Area
- Only perpendicular force is considered here
- SI unit of pressure is N/m² or Pa
- Liquids exert pressure in all directions
- Liquid pressure increases with height of liquid column
- Greater height of water column causes greater bulge in the balloon
- Atmosphere is the envelope of air around Earth
- Atmospheric pressure is the pressure exerted by air around us
- Air exerts pressure in all directions
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Pressure is the same as force.
A smaller area always means a smaller effect because less surface is touched.
Liquids exert pressure only at the bottom of a container.
Memory Tips
Pressure is force per unit area
Narrow straps cause more pressure than broad straps
Smaller area means higher pressure
A force of 100 N on 2 m² gives 50 N/m²
