?
What is the equation for pressure?
pressure = perpendicular force/area
1 of 9
What is the unit for pressure?
N/m2 or Pa
2 of 9
What is the unit for perpendicular force?
N
3 of 9
What is the unit for area?
m2
4 of 9
Describe snow shoes
Weight (force) spread over greater area so pressure is reduced
5 of 9
Describe ice skates
Weight (force) acts on a small area so pressure is high
6 of 9
What two things will increase pressure?
Smaller area and larger force
7 of 9
What two things will decrease pressure?
Larger area and smaller force
8 of 9
What is 2.9mPa in Pa?
2900000Pa
