Pressure

Liquid/hydrostatic Pressure
Liquid/hydrostatic pressure
Atmospheric pressure
Total pressure at a point in a liquid
Communicating vessel principle
Same level ,same continuous static liquid
means same absolute/total pressure.

Example 7: Barometer (used to measure atmospheric pressure)


Example 8: Barometer
Example 9: Manometer (used to measure gas pressure)
Example 10: Siphon

Suppose the liquid does not move


Example 11: AS physics w15 p13 q19

A B
Pascal’s law

In an enclosed liquid, a pressure change at any point is transmitted


equally everywhere in the liquid.

Derivation is based on the fact that a liquid is incompressible.
