When the force applied an object is doubled how does the pressure exerted on the object changes?
When the force is doubled the pressure is doubled as well. Read Newton's law.
What part of speech is pressure?
The word pressure is a noun. The plural is pressures. Pressure is a verb, as well, meaning to force someone toward a specific outcome.
How much force is exerted to lift 750kg of water in the well against the force of gravity?
On or near the Earth's surface, 750 kg of mass weighs 1,653.5 pounds (7,350 newtons). Any force greater than that will lift the water from the well. The greater the force, the sooner the water will reach the top.
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 difference between force and pressure?
A force is a push or a pull which changes how fast an object moves. Pressure is the force on an object divided by the area over which the force is spread. A force will change the velocity of an object. This means it will start it moving if it is still, stop it moving, speed it up, slow it down or change its direction! Pressure takes into account the area over which the force is acting. A force spread over a big area will give a low pressure. The same force spread over a small area will give a high pressure. For an excellent account of force and pressure see the links below. You might think of force as a 'vector' and pressure as a 'scalar'. A vector must include direction as a parameter as well as magnitude; and a scalar has magnitude without dependence on direction. Force on an object when the force is not balanced by other forces will compel an object to move. An object sitting motionless at one atmosphere of pressure will not be compelled to move simply because of the presence of the pressure alone. Pressure is the force over an area applied to an object in a direction perpendicular to the surface. Force is a push or pull that can cause an object with mass to accelerate. Force has both magnitude and direction. p = F / A, where:p is the pressure,F is the normal force,A is the area.
Why will a vacuum pump not work in a well that is more than 10 m deep?
The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well. That is only strong enough to support a column of water that is 10m tall.The water is pumped upwards by the atmospheric pressure acting on the surface of the water in the well.

Well in which water rises because of pressure?
This type of well is called an Artesian Well. If the pressure is great enough to raise the water above the ground level, it is called a Flowing Artesian Well.
What causes pressure in an artesian well?
An artesian well is a pumpless water source that utilizes pipes that are underground to allow water that is under pressure to rise to the surface for use. One needs to use porous stone sandwiched between two layers of a substance such as shale, that is impermeable.
Why does water have to do with air pressure?
In a well system, water is propelled by air pressure.
How do i maintain water pressure in my well?
with a pressure tank and pressure switch
Why doesn't water go in a glass cup when put under water?
Well, it is complicated, the trapped gas uses the force of pressure against the underlying water with the same amount of force that the water is putting on the gas. So the water doesn't go in the cup because the air is pushing it back.
What is an artesian water?
An artesian well is a water source that is generally at the bottom of a mountain or hill where the hill above collects water in the soil and this accumulated water has hydrostatic pressure and force which results in the water rising from the ground at the bottom of the hill or higher area.
What causes the water in an artesian well to spout upwards?
The term artesian means that the water is contained in an underground aquifer and/or reservoir. The fact that it is spouting means that it has artesian pressure and is a flowingartesian well. The geology of the site determines the amount of pressure on the reservoir and not all artesian wells have enough, or any pressure to spout. The pressure comes from the weight of ground structures and ground water pressing on and around the underground reservoir.
How can you relate temperature and volume with pressure?
if you have a closed bottle or can, etc. , of water and you heat it up to a high enough temperature, then pressure builds up, right? Well if the container is filled with water then the pressure will build up faster, causing the container to burst, but if the container is only filled maybe halfway, it will take a little longer for the pressure to build up enough to cause the container to burst.
The vapor pressure of CO2 is lower than the vapor pressure of water?
No, the vapor pressure of CO2 would be higher. Think of it like this, if you compress the molecules in gas enough, they will be close enough together to form a liquid. Both CO2 and water can exist as liquids and gas. At atmospheric pressure (14.7psi) or normal everyday pressure, water is a liquid and CO2 is a gas. This means that 14.7psi is not enough pressure to compress CO2 into the liquid state. Therefore, CO2 has a higher vapor pressure because it requires more pressure to become a liquid. Looking at it from the other side, if you had extremely high pressure where CO2 and water were both liquids and you started lowering the pressure, CO2 would become a vapor first once you went below a certain high pressure, and water wouldn't become a gas until you went well below atmospheric pressure.
If you increase force keeping the area the same what happens to pressure?
if force increaces and area stays the same then pressure
What does water pressure mean?
Water pressure refers to the pressure of water in a system. In a home it will be 30-50 psi typically and this is governed by the municipal pressure or by a well tank.
