PRESSURE

Pressure : Pressure is defined as force acting normally on unit area of the surface. P = F/A = Force/Area
SI unit of pressure is N/M² also called pascal (Pa). Pressure is a Scaler quantity.
If the area is less then the pressure will be more.
Atmospheric Pressure : It is that pressure which is exerted by a mercury column of 76 cm length at 0 degree c at 450 latitude at the sea level.Generally it is measured in bar.1 bar = 10⁵ N/M².
Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude.This is why (1) It is difficult to cook on the mountain. (2) The fountain pen of a passenger leaks in Aeroplane.
Atmospheric pressure is measured by barometer. With the help of barometer, weather forecast can be made.
Sudden fall in barometric reading is the indication of storm.
Slow fall in barometric reading is the indication of rain.
Slow rise in the barometric reading is the indication of clear weather.
Pressure in liquid : The pressure exerted by liquid at depth h below the surface of the liquid is given as P = hdg where d is the density of the liquid.
In a static liquid, pressure is same at all points.

Pascal law : If gravitational attraction is negligible , in equilibrium condition, pressure is same at all points in a liquid.The size of vessel does not affect the pressure of the liquid.
Hydrolic lift, hydrolic press, hydrolic brake work on pascal law.
Effect of pressure on melting point :
The melting point of substances which expands on fusion increases with the increase in pressure. For example: wax, ghee.
The melting point of substances which contracts on fusion decreases with the increase in temperature. For example: ice.
Effect of pressure on boiling point : Boiling point of all the substances increases with the increase in pressure.
Pressure cooker : If the pressure is increased then the boiling point of water also increases that is why the more energy is stored.There is no effect of the height on pressure cooker.
