Q

Work

A

Done when energy is changed from one kind to another. Work is measured in joules

17
Q

Pressure concept

A

The smaller the area the more force in one area so more pressure exerted. The larger the area the force is spread out so less pressure is exerted in one area

18
Q

Pressure is measured in

A

Nm-2
