In SPM, you need to know
1. The definition of pressure
2. The formula of pressure (you need this formula to do lot of calculation.)
. The SI unit of pressure
!. "actors affectin# the ma#nitude of pressure
Pressure
Pressure is defined as the force actin# normally per unit area. ($ere, the word %normally% means
perpendicularly.)
Example
&s shown in the dia#ram a'oe, a 2* force acts on a !cm+ surface. The force is shared eually 'y the
surface, hence each 1 cm+ of the surface withstand a force of -* (2*!).
The force (-*) acts on 1 unit area (1cm+) is said to 'e the pressure actin# on the surface. Therefore, the
pressure actin# on the surface is -*cm+.
Mathematically,
Pressure=Force/AreaP=F/A=20N/4cm2=5N/cm
Unit of PressureThe SI unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa). 1 Pa is eual to1 newton per metre2 (*m+).
1 N/m = 1 Pa

Factors Affecting the Magnitude of Pressure
a. Magnitude of the force.
The lar#er the force, the hi#her the pressure.
'. ontact area.
The lar#er the contact area, the lower the pressure.
"indin# the force acted on a surface when the pressure and surface area are #ien.

Example
& force " is actin# on a surface of area 2cm+, produces a pressure 2-Pa on the surface. "ind the

Pressure increases !ith depth
1. The deeper the liuid, the faster the liuid spurts out.
2. In conclusion, the pressure in a liuid increases with depth.
.
Pressure depends on the (ertical depth- ut not the length of li0uid column.
Pressure at A = Pressure at
All points at the same le(el in a li0uid are at the same pressure
The leel of the surface of a liuid in a container is always the same 'ecause for a #ien liuid, the
pressure is always eual at the same leel.

Application of li0uid pressure
+am
The wall of the dam is 'uilt thicker at the 'ottom to
withstand a hi#her pressure.
1. The #enerator is placed at the lower part so that
the pressure of the water is hi#h enou#h to drie the
tur'ine.
Su'marine
In deep sea, the pressure of the water is
tremendously hi#h. $ence the 'ody of the
su'marine is thick and 'uilt 'y stron#
material
Measuring lood Pressure
6hen measurin# 'lood pressure, the inflata'le cuff of the
sphy#momanometer should 'e at the same leel with the
heart so that the pressure measured is eual to the 'lood
pressure of the heart.
Intraenous Transfusion
"or intraenous transfusion (I9), the 'ottle
is hun# at an eleated position to ensure
that the liuid in the I9 'ottle #ains sufficient
pressure to flow into the ein of the patient.
6ater Tower
The water tower is 'uilt at hi#h place so that the water has

;as Pressure
@as pressure is the force per unit area e5erted 'y the #as molecules as they collide with the surface of an
o'=ect.
1. In SPM, especially in paper 2 essay uestion, you need to know how the #as pressure is
produced. (See uestion 'elow)

d. mili'ar (*ot used in SPM)

Proof of Existence of Atmospheric Pressure
The e5istence of the atmospheric pressure can 'e proed 'y the followin# e5periments.
1. Brushin# can e5periment
2. 6ater coer with card'oard does not flow out
. Ma#de'ur# $emisphere
rushing can experiment
1. 6hen a can fil led with hot water is closed and is
cooled down rapidly 'y pourin# cold water on it, it will
crush instantly.
2. This e5periment proes that there is a hu#e
atmospheric pressure e5erts on eerythin# on the
surface of the earth.
?ater co(er !ith cardoard does
not flo! out
1. The card'oard does not fall and
the water remains in the #lass een
thou#h itKs not supported 'y
anythin#.
2. This is 'ecause the force
caused 'y the atmospheric pressure
acts on the surface of the card'oard
is #reater than the wei#ht of the
7/23/2019 Physics f4 Pressure
14/27
water in the #lass. This e5periment
proes that atmospheric pressure is
present on the surface of the earth.
Syrin#e
1. 6hen the piston is pulled up, the atmospheric
pressure inside the cylinder will decrease.
2. The atmospheric pressure outside pushes the
liuid up into the syrin#e.
Magdeurg >emisphere
1. 6hen the air inside the
hemisphere is pumped out so that it
'ecomes a acuum, the hemisphere
cannot 'e separated een 'y a ery
#reat force.
2. This is 'ecause when the air is
pumped out, the pressure inside the
hemisphere 'ecomes ery low.
. The atmospheric pressure
e5erts a stron# force on the outer
surface of the hemisphere, holdin#
the hemisphere ti#htly to#ether.

Sucker $ook
6hen the sucker is pressed into place, the air inside is
forced out. &s a result, the pressure inside the sucker
'ecome ery low. The sucker is then held in position 'y the
hi#h atmospheric
pressure on the outside surface.
Straw
6hen a person sucks throu#h the straw,
the pressure in the straw 'ecome low.
The atmospheric pressure outside
which is hi#her will force the water into
the straw and conseuently into the
mouth.
