 10 Kg

10 Kg AREA= 0.4 m2 AREA= 0.2 m2

Given: F= W= 10Kg x 10 N/Kg=100N Given: F= W= 10Kg x 10 N/Kg=100N

A = 0.4 m2 A = 0.2 m2

Unknown: Pressure Unknown: Pressure

Formula: P = F / A Formula: P = F / A

Solution: P= 100 N / 0.4 m2 Solution: P= 100 N / 0.2 m2

Answer: P = 250 Pa Answer: P = 500 Pa

A = 0.4 m2 A = 0.4 m2

Unknown: Pressure Unknown: Pressure

Formula: P = F / A Formula: P = F / A

Solution: P= 100 N / 0.4 m2 Solution: P= 200 N / 0.4 m2

Answer: P = 250 Pa Answer: P = 500 Pa

Sample Problem 2
A force of 185.6 N is applied to a square
of side length 3 m. Work out the
pressure on the square to 3 significant
figures.
Sample Problem 3
A man with a weight of 740 N is standing
on one leg. His foot is exerting 2312.5 Pa
of pressure onto the ground. What is the
surface area of the bottom of his foot?

Sample Problem 5
Mass of a box 24 kg. Determine the pressure on the floor.
 Pressure in Liquid
• When an object is immersed in a liquid, the liquid will exert a
pressure, squeezing the object
• This pressure is exerted evenly across the whole surface of the
liquid, and in all directions
 Formula of Pressure in Liquid
The size of this pressure depends upon:
•the density (D) of the liquid,
•the depth (h) of the object and
•the gravitational field strength (g):

Formula of Pressure in Liquid :

P=hxDxg
Sample Problem 1
A person dives from a depth of 20 m to a depth of 90 m.
Given that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.
Calculate the change in pressure acting on the person.
Sample Problem 2

Answer : D

Water in three beakers

(A, B, C) have the
same depth.
So, they have the same
Pressure on the base
of the beakers.
