Page 2: Pressure Variation with Depth

This section explores how pressure changes with depth in liquids and introduces the concept of upthrust. The relationship between pressure, height, density, and gravitational field strength is detailed.

Definition: Upthrust is the resultant force experienced by partially or fully submerged objects due to pressure difference.

Example: Water jets demonstrate pressure variation - stronger jets at greater depths indicate higher pressure.

Highlight: The equation p = h × ρ × g shows how pressure depends on height, density, and gravitational field strength.

Page 1: Introduction to Fluid Pressure

This page introduces the fundamental concepts of fluid pressure and its calculation methods. The relationship between force and area in pressure calculations is thoroughly explained for both liquids and gases.

Definition: Pressure is the force per unit area acting normal to any surface.

Vocabulary: Fluids are substances that can flow, including both liquids and gases.

Example: The ocean demonstrates pressure variation with depth - pressure increases as you go deeper.

Highlight: The mathematical equation for pressure (P = F/A) forms the foundation for understanding fluid pressure calculations.
