·         5.6 recall and use the relationship for pressure difference:

 

        pressure difference = height × density × g

                               ∆p = h × ρ × g

 

 

∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa)

h = height of the fluid (m)

ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3)

g = gravitational field strength (N/kg)

·         The bottom hole squirts water the furthest

·         Because the water at the bottom has the greatest pressure

·         Because in the formula ∆p = h × ρ × g, ρ is constant, g is constant and h is large

·         So ∆p = large

·         5.5 understand that the pressure at a point in a gas or liquid which is at rest acts equally in all directions

5.4 Pressure Questions

·         PFY p.91, Q.3 and 7.

 p= F/A

100 000 = F/10

100 000 X 10 = 1000000N

   

Image002

a)      p= F/A

p= 500/0.0005

p= 100 000Pa

b)      p= F/A

100 000= F/0.002

A= 2 000N

Density of a regular solid – Lead

 

Mass = 175.4g

Width = 2cm

Length = 5cm

Height = 4.6cm

Volume = width x length x height

V = 2 x 5 x 4.6 = 46cm3

P = m / V = 175.4 / 46 = 12.5g/cm3
