Pressure Pressure is defined as force per unit area. It is usually more convenient to use pressure rather than force to describe the influences upon fluid behavior. The standard unit for pressure is the Pascal, which is a Newton per square meter. For an object sitting on a surface, the force pressing on the surface is the weight of the object, but in different orientations it might have a different area in contact with the surface and therefore exert a different pressure.

Hello welcome to the world in pressure is the amount of force exerted on agiven area

Pressure calculation.
There are many physical situations where pressure is the most important variable. If you are peeling an apple, then pressure is the key variable: if the knife is sharp, then the area of contact is small and you can peel with less force exerted on the blade. If you must get an injection, then pressure is the most important variable in getting the needle through your skin: it is better to have a sharp needle than a dull one since the smaller area of contact implies that less force is required to push the needle through the skin. When you deal with the pressure of a liquid at rest, the medium is treated as a continuous distribution of matter. But when you deal with a gas pressure, it must be approached as an average pressure from molecular collisions with the walls. Pressure in a fluid can be seen to be a measure of energy per unit volume by means of the definition of work. This energy is related to other forms of fluid energy by theBernoulli equation.

Fluid Kinetic Energy The kinetic energy of a moving fluid is more useful in applications like the Bernoulli equation when it is expressed as kinetic energy per unit volume

When the kinetic energy is that of fluid under conditions of laminar flow through a tube, one must take into account the velocity profile to evaluate the kinetic energy. Across the cross-section of flow, the kinetic energy must be calculated using the average of the velocity squared , which is not the same as squaring the average velocity. Expressed in terms of the maximum velocity vm at the center of the flow, the kinetic energy is

Warning all grownups: get your sense of humor ready for this science experiment, which demonstrates fundamental physics of air pressure. You can do this in a lab, of course, or with technical worksheets, but we love this goofy magic trick with a kid and a grownupand an audience, too, if you dare. What You Need: 2 plastic drink bottles, 1-2 liters in size, clean and dry Latex balloons Pin or tack

Pressure Activityscaffolding activityIntroduction: Introduction: Though you may not realize it, the air has weight. All the air molecules in the atmosphere exert a force, or pressure, on our bodies. Atmospheric pressure is the force exerted by the weight of the air above an object or surface. Variations in pressure generate winds, which play a significant role in day to day weather conditions. The purpose of this activity is to introduce characteristics of pressure, high and low pressure centers, and a brief analysis of an idealized pressure field. Key words throughout this activity link directly to helper resources that provide useful information for answering the questions.

Characteristics of Pressure: 1) What are the different units of pressure? Which unit is used most by meteorologists?

2) Circle the correct response in the following sentence: Pressure (increases / decreases) with height. Please explain why pressure changes this way with height. High and Low Pressure Centers: 3) Draw the symbol that represents a high pressure center on a weather map. Do the same for a low pressure center.
4) Pictured below are two imaginary columns of air molecules exerting pressure on the surfaces below them. The left column contains fewer air molecules than the right column.

Which column is more representative of the atmosphere above a high pressure center? Which one is more likely to be found over a low pressure? Using the correct symbols for labeling high and low pressure centers (see question #3), mark your answers beneath the appropriate columns in the diagram above. You may label the diagram in one of two ways; 1) by printing out a copy of this activity and marking your answers directly onto the printout or 2) by saving the image into your favorite graphics software and modifying the image using that graphics package.

Analysis of a Pressure Field: 5) The diagram below is an idealized pressure field resembling those commonly found on surface weather maps. The numbers along each contour indicate the pressure value in millibars for that particular contour. Use the diagram below to answer the following questions. What are the green contours? What do they represent?

Label the diagram above to indicate the positions of the high and low pressure centers. Please use the correct symbols (see question #3). You may label the diagram in one of two ways; 1) by printing out a copy of this activity and marking your answers directly onto the printout or 2) by saving the image into your favorite graphics software and modifying the image using that graphics package. Draw an arrow (on the diagram above) to indicate the direction in which the pressure gradient force is pointing. Examine the Current Pressure Field: 6) Using what you learned in questions 1-5, open the following map and create the latest map of isobars. On this map, mark the positions ofhigh and low pressure centers (using the correct symbols). You may label your image in one of two ways; 1) by printing out a copy of the image and marking your answers directly onto the printout or 2) by saving the image into your favorite graphics software and modifying the image using that graphics package.
