It is if a brick rests on a table the force with which the brick pushes on the table is its weight. The pressure it exerts on the contact area depends on the brick's orientation. If the contact area between brick and table is larger, the brick exerts less pressure on the contact area.

What happens to the volume of air in the syringe?

A syringe is similar to a balloon in effect on pressure. The more air you insert, the less space for fluid. The more pressure exerted on it, the less volume of air and the more the liquid would fill up the space.


Is the pressure exerted by different gases different?

Yes, the pressure exerted by different gases can be different, as it depends on factors such as the number of gas molecules, temperature, and volume. However, if the gases are in the same container at the same temperature, they will exert the same pressure.


How does density of an object relate to the pressure it exerts?

The further down you go the more pressure is exerted upon that point by the sum of the weight ( gravity and density) of the substance (usually water) above that point (the height or depth). For example, if their where say more argon than there is now in the atmosphere the barometric pressure would be higher when ignoring the changes in pressure due to weather.


Why does pressure decrease with increase in length?

Pressure effected by the volume of substance being pushed through. For instance, the longer the hose, the more water being pushed through=greater pressure. The shorter the distance the less water being pushed through=less pressure.


What is the vapour pressure of liquids?

Vapour pressure is the pressure exerted by a vapor in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases at a given temperature in a closed system. It is a measure of a liquid's tendency to evaporate. The higher the vapor pressure, the more volatile a liquid is.

As the velocity of a fluid increased the pressure exerted by the fluid decreased?

According to Bernoulli's principle, as the velocity of a fluid increases, the pressure exerted by the fluid decreases. This is because when the fluid flows faster, it has more kinetic energy and less pressure energy.

Would you expect the the pressure exerted by water to be greater or less than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air?

The pressure exerted by water would be greater than the pressure exerted by the same amount of air due to water's higher density. Water molecules are packed closely together, leading to more collisions with the walls of the container and thus a higher pressure compared to air molecules.

How does barometric pressure vary with altitude?

pressure is a physical unit that measures what we may call the density of force i.e. trhe amount of force exerted on a certain area , the atmosphiric pressure is the force exerted by the air mass on a certain area , clearly more air means more mass , thus , when we go down the air above us increases , and when we go down the amount of air decreases.

Does air pressure affect water pressure?

Water Vapor affects pressure because moist air contains many heavy gases such as O2,N2 etc. But less water vapor. Since these gases are heavier than water vapor, it becomes more dense constituting more pressure. So Moist air contains less pressure than Dry Air.


What is the name of the pressure that must be exerted on a solution to prevent the passage of solvent molecules into a solution when the solution and solvent are separated by a semipermeable membrane?

That pressure is called osmotic pressure. It is the pressure needed to prevent the flow of solvent molecules from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated solution through a semipermeable membrane.
