What is the equation for density?
Density = mass/volume
1 of 13
What is the unit for density?
g/cm(cubed) or kg/m(cubed)
2 of 13
When do we measure the amount of volume increase when sinking an object in water?
When measuing the volume of an irregular object
3 of 13
What is the equation for pressure?
Pressure = force/area
4 of 13
What is the unit for pressure?
Pa (pascals) or N/m(sqaured) or atmospheres
5 of 13
In which direction does pressure act in when acting in a liquid or gas?
Equallly in all directions
6 of 13
Where in the liquid is the pressure equal to 0?
At the surface
7 of 13
What is the equation for pressure difference in a liquid?
height x density x gravitational field strength
8 of 13
What piece of equipment do we use to measure pressure difference?
A manometer
9 of 13
In a manometer, what must happen to the pressure for the gas to come out at the top?
The pressure must be higher than the pressure of the atmosphere
