No! Pressure is force per unit area: p=f/a. Thus it does not require a large force to produce a large pressure; reducing the area increases the pressure for the same applied force. The thumbtack, for example, can be considered to be a pressure amplifier since a small force applied to the head becomes a very large force at the pointed end of the thumbtack. Not if you have a narrow bore pipe.

What two things do you need to know to calculate pressure?

To calculate pressure, you need to know the force applied on an object and the surface area over which the force is distributed. Pressure is calculated by dividing the force by the surface area.


What two things are needed to calculate pressure?

To calculate pressure, you need to know the force exerted on a given area and the area over which the force is distributed. Pressure is calculated by dividing the force by the area.


How much pressure is required to lift one ton?

Assuming you need a metric ton, that's 1000 kilograms. To lift that, you need a FORCE of 9800 newtons. Force is related to pressure by: pressure = force / area, so the answer to the original question would depend, over what area the force is applied.

O calculate pressure it is necessary to know the force and what?

To calculate pressure, you need to know the force applied perpendicular to the surface and the area over which the force is distributed. Pressure is calculated by dividing the force by the area, so both of these components are essential in determining the pressure on a surface.


How do you find force using pascal?

To calculate force using Pascal's principle, you would need to multiply pressure (in Pascal) by the area over which the pressure is applied. The formula for force is Force = Pressure x Area. This relationship helps determine the force exerted on a particular surface due to the pressure acting on it.


How much force equals 7 pounds of pressure?

Pressure and force are different concepts. Pressure is force distributed over an area, so 7 pounds of pressure could correspond to different forces depending on the area over which the force is applied. To determine the force, you would need to know the specific area over which the pressure is exerted.


Why did Hurricane Sandy need a low air pressure to form?

All large scale storm systems on earth have low pressure. The low pressure pulls in air that can act a fuel for the storm and creates a pressure gradient force that generates wind. Generally speaking, the lower the pressure in a storm, the stronger it is.


What is the condition required to get maximum pressure by appyling mimimum force?

To achieve maximum pressure with minimum force, you need to minimize the area over which the force is applied. This can be accomplished by using a smaller surface area to concentrate the force, resulting in higher pressure. Pressure is defined as force per unit area, so by decreasing the area while keeping the force constant, you can maximize the pressure exerted.


What variables are needed to calculate pressure?

To calculate pressure, you need the force applied on a surface and the area over which the force is distributed. Pressure is defined as force per unit area (P = F/A), so these two variables are essential for the calculation.


1.8N equals to how many kPa?

Depends on the surface it is applied: N is a unit of mass, kPa a unit of pressure. Divide 1.8 by the surface in square m, then by 1000 and you'll obtain the pressure you need in kPa.


Why is it important that birds have large beaks?

Birds need their beaks to obtain prey and defend themselves.
