PRESSURE
  1. pressure
    1. formula
      1. unit
        1. pascal or Nm^2
        2. applications
          1. high pressure
            1. a sharp knife has a very small surface area on its cutting edge so that high pressure can be exerted to cut the meat
              1. nails needles and pins have very sharp ends with very small surface areas when a force is applied on the head of a nail pressure will drive its sharp end into a piece of wood easily
                1. the studs on a Football boot have a small amount area of contact with the ground the pressure under the studs is high enough for them to sink into the ground which gives extra grip
                2. low pressure
                  1. skis have a large area to reduce the pressure on the snow so that they do not sink in to far
                    1. a tractor moving on soft ground has wide Tyres to reduce the pressure on the ground so that they will not sink into the ground
                      1. a wide shoulder pad of a heavy bag will reduce the pressure exerted on the shoulder of the person carrying the bag
                  2. ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE
                    1. formula
                      1. wt.of object÷ wt. of displaced fluid = density of object ÷density of fluid
                      2. applications
                        1. 1. Submarine: A submarine has a large ballast tank, which is used to control its position and depth from the surface of the sea. A submarine submerges by letting water into the ballast tank so that its weight becomes greater than the buoyant force. Conversely, it floats by reducing water in the ballast tank.-thus its weight is less than the buoyant force
                      3. LIQUID PRESSURE
                        1. formula
                          1. h×density×g
                          2. characteristics
                            1. Unlike a solid, the molecules in a liquid have a much greater freedom to move. ... A liquid, like a gas, displays the properties of a fluid. A liquid can flow, assume the shape of a container, and, if placed in a sealed container, will distribute applied pressure evenly to every surface in the container.
                          3. GAS PRESSURE
                            1. atmospheric pressure
                              1. measuring
                                1. simple barometer
                                  1. fortins barometer
                                    1. anaroid barometer
                                  2. measurment
                                    1. manometer
