The sun would collapse and increase in density. This would increase the rate of nuclear fusion which would try to hold the star apart even harder. At some point other forces like the electron degeneracy pressure would come into play to hold the star apart. If all those forces failed though the sun would become a black hole.

Which fundamental force contributes to pressure in both water and the atmosphere?

The fundamental force that contributes to pressure in both water and the atmosphere is gravity. Gravity causes the weight of the water or air above a certain point to exert a force downwards, which leads to pressure at that point.


Can a planet collapse under its own gravity?

No, a planet does not collapse because gravity isn't strong enough to provide enough pressure to crush a planet. You might make a planet heavier and heavier as to increase its gravity but at some point the pressure in the planet's core will be high enough to support nuclear fusion and the planet will have changed into a star. At that point radiative pressure also begins to fight gravity.


Is air pressure a result of gravity?

Yes, air pressure is a result of gravity. The weight of the air molecules above a specific area creates pressure at that point. Gravity pulls the air molecules towards the Earth's surface, causing them to be compressed and create pressure.


How is pressure related to gravity?

Pressure is directly proportional to gravity. That means when gravity increases, pressure increases in same proportion and vice verse. Pressure is caused by the weight of the material above the point where you're measuring the pressure, which is proportional to the mass times the acceleration of gravity. In the case of water, which is considered incompressible, the pressure is proportional to the depth because the mass of water above you is proportional to your depth. It is similar for air, but air is compressible so the density varies with altitude making the calculation more complicated.


What is gravity pressure?

Gravity pressure refers to the pressure exerted by a fluid at a specific depth due to the force of gravity acting on the weight of the fluid above that point. This pressure increases with depth as the weight of the fluid column above increases. It is an important concept in understanding how fluids behave in different environments, such as in oceans or underground reservoirs.


Which fundamental force to pressure in both water and the atmosphere?

gravity


How does gravity cause fluid pressure?

Gravity creates a vertical pressure gradient within a fluid due to the weight of the fluid above a specific point. This pressure gradient causes the fluid to move from higher to lower pressure areas, thereby influencing fluid flow and distribution. In the case of bodies of water, gravity also contributes to hydrostatic pressure at different depths.


What happens within a contracting cloud in which gravity is stronger than pressure?

It continues to contract and collapse. In accordance with Boyle's Law, the compression of any gas also increases the temperature and pressure; at some point, the contraction will stop when pressure and gravity are equally balanced. With a very massive cloud of hydrogen, it's possible that the force of gravity will cause the extreme pressure and temperature sufficient to begin hydrogen fusion. At that point, as they say in Hollywood, "A Star Is Born".


What is the difference between the 'center of gravity' and the 'center of pressure'?

None


What fundamental force contributes to pressure both in water and the atmosphere?

The fundamental force that contributes to pressure in both water and the atmosphere is gravity. In both cases, the weight of the water or air above creates pressure at a point below due to the force of gravity acting on the mass.

Where does the net force happen on a plane?

If you were going to treat all of the forces acting on a plane at a specific point that point would be the CG (Center of Gravity), which is usually measured in inches aft of the datum (a non-physical point used by engineers to define the center of gravity).
