Pressure written questions
Structured and data-based Paper 2 practice for pressure: pressure in solids, density, hydrostatic pressure, hydraulics, barometers and manometers.
Learning goals
- Define pressure as force per unit area
- Apply pressure = force ÷ area
- Explain pressure transmission in a hydraulic press
- Apply density = mass ÷ volume
- Apply liquid-column pressure = height × density × gravitational field strength
- Explain how liquid-column height measures atmospheric pressure
- Explain how a manometer measures pressure difference
