5.6 Demo - squirting water column

· 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

5.6

· 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)

5.5

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

1st person à p= Force/area = 400N/0.0025=160’000 Pa = 160kPa

Elephant à p = Force/area = 5000N/(piex10^2)

                                                       = 5000/0.0314=159’000 Pa = 159 kPa

2nd Person à p= Force/area=400N/0.00005= 8’000’000 Pa =8000 kPa
