4.2. Pressure in Fluids Flashcards
1
Q
Pressure in Fluids
A
- Fluids refer to both liquids and gases.
- Particles are free to move and have Kinetic energy, they collide
with each other and the container. This exerts a small
force over a small area causing pressure to form.

Q
Volume of water
A
= A × h

Q
Mass of Water
A
density × volume = ρ × A × h
