Pressure increases the deeper you sink beneath the surface of the sea. So 20 metres below the surface has more pressure than 10 metres above the surface.
The pressure is greater at 20 m below the surface of the sea. Pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the water above. Each additional meter of depth adds more pressure, so the pressure will be higher at 20 m compared to 10 m below the surface.
No. You experience greater and greater pressure as you swim farther and farther below the surface of the water. This is because there is a greater height of water pressing down on you from above.
Pressure is greater at 20 m below the surface of the sea than at 10 m below due to the increase in water column above, causing an increase in hydrostatic pressure. The pressure at any point in a fluid is directly proportional to the depth of the fluid above that point.
It's not so much that the air pressure below a wing is greater as it is the pressure above it is less. The way a wing works, is the airfoil (shape of the wing) accelerates the air above the wing. Since the air is moving faster, it lowers the air pressure, resulting in a lower pressure above, and a higher(standard) pressure below, creating lift.
Because water is denser than air.
Lower above, and greater below. That's what enables the wing to create lift.
Lower above, and greater below. That's what enables the wing to create lift.
A column of air exerts atmospheric pressure on the air or surface below it. This pressure is caused by the weight of the air above pushing down on the lower air or surface.
Air pressure is greater near the surface because air has mass, which means that the mass of the Earth causes the force of gravity to pull the air towards the surface. This causes the air molecules to compress, which increases air pressure. At the same time, the air molecules want to depressurize, because they are a gas, causing them to physically push on each other. This causes the air pressure closest to the surface to be highest, because the depth of the air above those closest to the surface is greatest. As altitude increases, air pressure decreases for the same reason - there is less mass pushing from above.
Faster-moving air across the top of the wing lowers the pressure there. For a plane to ascend, the pressure must be sufficiently lower on top of the wing, and it will be forced upward by the greater pressure below the wing.
the pressure decreases the pressure increases
Water pressure in the ocean is caused by the weight of the water above pushing down on the water below. The deeper you go in the ocean, the greater the water pressure because there is more water above pushing down. This pressure increases at a rate of about 1 atmosphere (14.7 psi) for every 10 meters of depth.
