Pressure in fluids

Description

The force acting normally on unit surface area is called pressure. Pressure is a scalar quantity Units of pressure are NEWTON AND PASCAL The momentum imparted per second by the molecules to a given surface gives rise to average force acting on the surface. This average force acting per unit area givea rise to gluid pressure.
