06 Pressure and Density Flashcards
(11 cards)
Define density
The mass per unit volume
How do you find the volume of a cuboid object?
Multiply the height, width, length (h x w x l)
Give the equation linking pressure, force and area:
p = F/A
(pressure [pa] = Force (N)/ area [,m^2])
What is 1 atm (atmopsphere) equivalent to?
101 325 Pa
what is density a measurement of?
how heavy something is per measurement of how big it is.
what is the greek letter that represents density?
ρ (rho)
give the equation linking pressure, force and area
pressure = force/area
define atmospheric pressure
the weight of the atmosphere (force) over the Earth’s area
1 atm =
101300 Pa
give the equation linking pressure, change in height, density, and the strength of gravity
pressure = change in height + density + strangth of gravity
what is the unit of density?
kilograms per metre cubes (kg/m^3)
