Practice Other Topics from Pressure

The topic defines pressure. It illustrates a formula to calculate the pressure. Pressure decreases when the cutting edge is broad or blunt. The picture examples will help students understand the concept clearly.

In this topic, we will discuss various examples of pressure that we experience. We use pressure on trivial things in our daily lives to creating the foundation of skyscrapers. Pressure is essential even for animals like elephants.

This topic discusses the presence of pressure in fluids. To describe it better, Pascal's experiment is presented that proves, fluids exert pressure in all directions. An activity is given for students to do and learn from.

This topic elaborates on Pascal's principle that liquid exerts equal pressure in all directions. It describes the downward, sideward, and upward pressure in liquids with the help of examples and activities.

The topic deals with the air around us and the atmosphere. It also highlights the characteristics of air that is colourless, has mass, and it exerts pressure. The air pressure is the atmospheric pressure. Air pressure decreases with upward movement.

In this topic, we will learn about atmospheric pressure, its unit, and how it is measured. The SI unit of measuring pressure is Pascal. Calculations are shown for clarity of concept.

The topic tries to prove that air exerts greater pressure. This concept is explained with the help of an experiment done by Otto Von Guericke. Another activity is given to perform the experiment and observe the results.
