PRESSURE
PRESS = push on a surface
MY
BAROMETER

PRESSURE = Force / Surface Area (P=F/SA)

UNIT: pascal (Pa) =1N/m2

What do I see?

Calculating YOUR
Pressure
FORCE AND
SURFACE AREA

YOUR FORCE
Force = Mass (in kg) x gravity (10 m/s/s)
1. My Force = _________ kg x 10 m/s/s = ________ N

USE THIS NUMBER for FORCE


when you calculate PRESSURE

YOUR SURFACE AREA


4 squares = 1 cm2
1. Count how many groups of 4 you have:

I have _______ groups.

2. Divide this number by 10,000 to get from cm2 to m2: ________ /10,000 = _________ m2
YOUR PRESSURE WHEN YOU STAND ON TWO FEET
Step 1: Formula
Step 2: Show work (units)

USE THIS NUMBER for SA


when you calculate PRESSURE
Step 3: Final answer (units)

YOUR PRESSURE WHEN YOU STAND ON TIPPY TOES


Step 1: Formula
Step 2: Show work (units)

Step 3: Final answer (units)

Do a push up with whole hands and then on your finger-tips.


a. Which one feels harder? _____________________________________________________
b. What did we change, force or surface area? _____________________________________

CHANGING
PRESSURE

Now try push ups with your whole foot and then on your tip-toes.
a. How does this compare to our whole foot versus our tip toes? ______________________
b. What did we change - force or surface area? _____________________________________
Now do your push-ups with a backpack.
a. What did we change - force or surface area? _____________________________________

Key Ideas:
CHANGING
PRESSURE

Remember: P= F/ SA

1. When we decrease the surface area, there is more __________________________________.


2. When we did the push ups on our tippy toes, _______________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________.
3. Can you think of the opposite? When we increase the force, there is more ______________
________________________________________________________________________________
PSI stands for __________________________ We use it with __________________________
MMHG stands for _______________________ We use it to measure ____________________

SO MANY
UNITS!

BAR and ATM measure ___________________ We use it in ___________________________


Surface = 1 atm = 101,000 Pa
10 meters below = 2 atm = 202,000 Pa
Tires 32 psi= 220, 500 Pa
