How does the water pressure 1m below the surface of the small pond compare with the water pressure 1m below the surface of a huge lake?
The pressure at the same depth in any container doesn't depend on the size of
the container. The pressure one meter below the surface is the same in a pond,
a lake, a swimming pool, the middle of the Pacific Ocean, or a bath-tub.

Why do sharp kniveshave a small cutting surface area?
This is because the pressure exerted at the blade of a knife increases with diminishing surface area. The smaller the cutting surface area, the higher the pressure, and the easier it is to cut.
How will the pressure of an object change if its area is doubled?
It won't. The pressure within a hollow object may change if the surface area changes, hence the volume. The total pressure acting on the exterior of a solid object may change if the total surface area changes.
In a hydraulic system how is the force applied on a small surface area multiplied?
The force is multiplied in a hydraulic system through Pascal's Principle, which states that pressure in a confined fluid is transmitted uniformly in all directions. When force is applied to a small surface area, it creates pressure within the fluid, which is transmitted to a larger surface area, resulting in a larger force output.
Why it is much easier to burst a balloon with needle than finger?
A needle has a small point that concentrates pressure on a small area of the balloon, making it easier to puncture the surface and burst it. In contrast, a finger has a larger surface area, distributing the force across a wider area when pressure is applied, which makes it less effective at bursting the balloon.
What is a small wave called?
surface wave
How will surface area to volume ratios of a small cell compare to those of a large cell?
A small cell will have a larger surface-to-volume ratio.
What kind of surface pressure is on mercury?
Mercury has a surface pressure that is near enough zero or a vacuum, since the planet holds no atmosphere due to its small size.
Why does it hurt a lot if you sit on a pin?
all the pressure and weight is on one point and the pressure is on a small surface area.
What is the difference between surface pressure and sea level pressure?
Surface pressure is simply the air pressure at ground level, anywhere on Earth. Sea level pressure is an adjustment made so that we can compare pressure at stations of different elevations. Sea level pressure is surface pressure if it were taken at sea level. Small differences in air pressure are important in meteorology, which is why we measure pressure precisely. The problem is that pressure is a function of elevation to first order, and weather differences to second. That's why it must be adjusted to be meaningful. Otherwise we would think that Denver, CO is always under an extreme low pressure system.
What is the system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area?
Hydraulic.
What is the surface pressure of the Moon?
The surface pressure of the moon is 10E-7 Pa. Or in kPa 10E-10. (0.0000000001) This pressure is so small because the moon has virtually no atmosphere. Therefore very little pressure. (This can be contrasted to the average sea-level pressure of Earth at 101325 Pa or 101.325 kPa)
Why do sharp kniveshave a small cutting surface area?
This is because the pressure exerted at the blade of a knife increases with diminishing surface area. The smaller the cutting surface area, the higher the pressure, and the easier it is to cut.
What is a hyraulic system?
A system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area
What is hydralics?
hydralic system- a system that multiplies force by transmitted pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area
Which salivary gland is located in a small depression on the medial surface of the mandible below the canine?
The submandibular gland is located in a small depression on the medial surface of the mandible below the canine. It is one of the major salivary glands and produces around 70% of the saliva in the mouth.
Why does high heels sink in snow but not snow shoes?
Because of pressure. High heels gave small soles. The full weight on a small surface gives a high pressure while the same weight on a larger surface gives a lower pressure. It's like the difference between poking your finger into the sand or trying to push your fist into the sand.
What triggers the small earthquakes the occur around a volcano before an eruption?
Increases in seismic activity around a volcano are typically caused by the movement of magma below the surface into a magma chamber. This causes increases in pressure which leads to fracturing to the rock mass around the magma chamber causing small earthquakes. If the pressure continues to build it would ultimately force the volcano to erupt.
