The force applied on a fluid over a specific area.
How easily a fluid can be compressed; gases compress easily and liquids do not.
A push or pull that causes movement.
A group of parts that work together to perform a function.
To squeeze something into a smaller space.
A system that uses liquids under pressure to transmit force.
A system that uses gases under pressure to transmit force.
Pressure applied to a confined fluid is transmitted equally in all directions.
Pressure equals force divided by area.
Force equals pressure multiplied by area.
Area equals force divided by pressure.
Pascal (Pa).
Newton (N).
Scientist (1623-1663) who discovered Pascal's Law about fluid pressure.
Physicist (1643-1727) who created the three laws of motion and defined force.
Force equals mass multiplied by acceleration.
The amount of matter in an object, measured in kilograms (kg).
The rate of change of velocity, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
Force and pressure are directly proportional when area stays constant.
