Define pressure and types of pressure and also explian its consequences?
➡️
Pressure is an expression of force exerted on a surface per unit area.
The standard unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), equivalent to one Newton per meter squared (N/m^2).
Pressure can be measured in dyne per centimeter squared (dyn/cm^2).
➡️
The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere, which at the sea level has a mean value of 101,325 pascal.
Absolute pressure is the pressure above the absolute zero of the pressure, measured at absolute zero temperature or in complete vaccum.
Difference of pressure measurements between two points in a system is known as differential pressure.
The reading on a pressure gauge, which is the difference between two pressure, is known as Gauge pressure.
➡️
Water.
Air movement.
Cloud.
Rainfall.
Tornadoes.
Hurricanes.
Pressure (P) is defined as the magnitude of the normal force acting per unit surface area.
✡ Pressure = ∆F/∆A
★ Pascal(Pa)
1Pa = N/m²

★
This is because hydrostatic pressure is transmitted equally in all direction when force is applied, which shows that pressure is not associated with a definite direction.
✒ Railway tracks are laid on wooden or iron sleepers. this is because the Weight of the train is spread over a large surface area of the sleeper. this reduce the pressure acting on the ground.
✒ A sharp knife is more effective in cutting the objects than a blunt knife.
Pressure exerted = force/area
the sharp knife transmits force over a small area as compared to the blunt knife. hence, the pressure exerted in case of sharp knife is more than the blunt knife.
★ Atmospheric pressure.
★ Gauge pressure.
★ Absolute pressure.
(1)
Force exeted by atmospheric columm on unit cross - sectional area at mean sea level is called Atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 101.3 KN/m²
✏
(2).
Excess pressure over the atmospheric pressure (P-Patm) measured with the help of pressure measuring instrument is called Gauge pressure.
and,
✏
(3).
Sum of the atmospheric and gauge pressure is called Absolute pressure.
