CHAPTER 5: THE CONCEPT OF PRESSURE

1) Pressure is defined as ______________________________________________

2)
Pressure =

3) The S.I unit is ____________________________________________________________

4) The higher/ greater the force, the _____________________________________________
5) The bigger the surface area in contact is, the ___________________________________

Application of Pressure in Everyday Life

1) Sharp knife is used for cutting meat. A sharp knife has a very
__________________________________________, resulting in high pressure.
2) Vehicles travelling on the mud have wide tyres. Wide tyres can
____________________________________________________ acting on the mud

THE PRINCIPLE OF TRANSMISSION OF PRESSURE IN A LIQUID

1) Pressure is ___________________________________ in the

liquid

2) This causes the liquid to flow out in

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM

1) The pressure acting on the large piston is same as

________________________________________________________________________

2)
Pressure applied :

3) Calculation of pressure in a hydraulic system

Answer:

Answer:
SHAPE OF WATER VEHICLES

1) Most of the water vehicles have the _____________________________ to overcome

____________________________________ that slow down the motion of the water
vehicles.
2) If the surface of the vehicle of the body in
contact with water is larger, the
__________________________________

3) MOTION OF VEHICLES IN WATER

Engine-powered boats
 The propeller will rotate when the engine is
turned on and push the water backwards
___________________________________

Hovercraft
 Has an air cushion at its base
 The layer of air reduces the drag by separating
the body of ship from the surface of water

Hydrofoil
When the hydrofoil moves and gains speed, the
foils act upon the wings to lift the hydrofoil from
the surface of the water.

UPTHRUST
1) The upthrust of an object causes the weight of the object to be
__________________________________________
2) Archimedes principle: when the object is immersed completely or partly in a fluid, the
upthrust on the object is same to the weight of the liquid displaced by the object.
3) Upthrust of an object = _____________________________________________

_____________________________________________
 What is the upthrust exerted by the water on
the stone?
Answer:

APPLICATION OF ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE

Ships
1) The upthrust on the ship is equal(same) to the _______________________________

2) When the load is increased, the weight of ship also increases.

BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE

1) Bernoulli’s Principle states that if the velocity of a fluid is high,
