11 of 21
what is pressure measured in ?
N/M squared also called a PASCAL (pa)
12 of 21
how is pressure caused ?
pressure is caused by tiny particles hitting against eachother.
13 of 21
what is a menometer ?
a menometer - a U shaped tube filled with liquid
14 of 21
the weight of the liquid inside a tube is measured how ?
by using the formula F = P x G x A x H
15 of 21
what does the F stand for in that equation ?
F = weight (in newtons)
