Chapter 3 | Pressure Principles

Question 1

What’s the first pressure principle?

Answer 1

Pressure Principle #1

• Fluids travel from (areas of) high pressure to low pressure

Question 2

What’s the second principle of pressure?

Answer 2

Pressure Principle #2

• Pressure is applied to a fluid is uniformly distributed around every part of the fluid

(The Pressure is exerted equally all in the fluid)

Question 3

What’s the third principle of pressure?

Answer 3

Pressure Principle #3

• A transfer of pressure in a fluid can increase the force involved

(Pressure can be pushed down through 1cm² and be multiplied by exerting that pressure through a 50cm² area meaning,

1N turns into 50N if energy)
