Downforce
What force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it is called what?
Atmospheric pressure
What is the force put on a given area by the weight of the air above it called?
Atmospheric pressure.. maybe
What is atmospheric pressure based on?
What do you mean "... based on"? The athmosperic pressure is "weight of air" and it can be measured. Strikly speaking: "force per unit area exerted against a surface by the weight of air above that surface at any given point" (wikipedia) Ap could be given in force/area units for example lb/sq ft, kg/sq meter etc.
How does pressure relate to depth?
Pressure = force / area, but > Force (weight) of water = mass * acceleration > Select a depth, choose an area the weight of water is acting on ( say 1 square inch ) calculate the force (weight) of the water column above that area (in pounds) Divide force by area = pressure (pounds per square inch (psi)) Dont forget to add atmospheric pressure (psi) to the answer.
How do you find pressure if force and area is given?
force= pressure*area
Why does pressure of fluid vary with depth?
For a very basic explanation, pressure is the amount of force in any given area. Hydrostatic pressure, or fluid pressure, is the amount of force exuded at equilibrium due to gravity. So at any given point in a fluid, the pressure is equal to the weight of the fluid above it as well as the depth below it.
What is the force caused by particles hitting a certain area?
Pressure. It is measured as a given force applied over a given area.
Why is it difficutl to hold a school bag having a strap made of a thin and strong string?
for a given weight (force), reducing the contact area ie thinner strap, increases the pressure proportionally pressure (pascals) = force (newtons)/ contact area (m^2) half the area = twice the pressure weight of bag * 9.81 = downward force in newtons
How do you find pressure given force and area?
P = F/A, so Area = Force/Pressure
What is the definition of atmospheric pressure?
Air pressure is the force (weight of Earth's atmosphere) exerted on you by the weight of tiny particles of air, the air molecules above and around you. This is also referred to as "barometric pressure" (measured with a barometer) and will change with altitude or elevation. The standard pressure is 1 ATM (atmosphere), equal to 101325 pascals or 1013.25 mbar.
