Why do our knives need to be so sharp?


Why do submarines implode?
Why do our ears hurt when a plane takes off or
lands?
Solids

Liquids
All these situations are
associated with
pressure
Gases
Solids
Pressure in solids is defined as a force applied
perpendicularly to an area in which the force is distributed.
It is directly proportional to the applied force and inversely
proportional to the area of ​contact.

If the area is smaller, the force is concentrated in a few


points, therefore the pressure is greater.
If the area is larger, the force is distributed across different
points, therefore the pressure is lower.

So why do our knives need to be


so sharp?
In the international system, the unit of measurement for
pressure is the Pascal (Pa), however, in daily life we ​
encounter other ways of measuring different pressures:
Atmospheric: Atm
Body Pressure: mmHg
Pounds per square inch: Psi
If the surface area becomes smaller, the
Solids
pressure will be greater
A nail distributes its force across its point. The sharper the
point, the greater the pressure, and consequently, the easier it
will be to drive the nail into the wood. If the nail were upside
down, the force would be distributed over a larger surface
Solids
area. Therefore, we have to apply more force to drive the nail.
A karate chop delivered by experts is far more damaging and deadly
than an open-handed slap. When you slap someone, the force you
apply by striking the surface is distributed across the entire palm of
your hand. In contrast, a karate chop concentrates all the force on the
sides of the hand, which have significantly less surface area than the
Solids
palms. This leads to greater pressure being applied to the surface,
making a karate chop more deadly than a slap.
Liquids and gases
The pressure in liquids and gases
depends on the height and depth at
which the object is located.
Let's do an experiment!

Liquids
The more water mass there
is on the object, the greater
Liquids
the pressure will be.

So... Why do submarines


implode?
Liquids The pressure exerted by the liquid on the
body occurs in all directions.
Upward thrust: All liquids exert an upward thrust
on objects because the pressure is greater
Liquids beneath them.

The larger the surface area of ​an object, the


greater its upward thrust.

Air pressure: Produced by the weight of the atmosphere
as it pushes against the Earth's surface and everything
on it.
The pressure of these gases is equal in all directions.
Gases

We don't feel the pressure


because it equals our blood
pressure.
It depends on the height above sea level.
Gases

In Santiago de Chile the atmospheric pressure is


101.325 Pa
It depends on the height above sea level.
Gases

At higher altitudes, the


pressure will be lower
because there is less
mass of gases above the
object.
GUIDED PRACTICE

Perform a push-up with your entire palm on the floor and


another with just your fingers on the floor. In which situation is
the pressure greater?
GUIDED PRACTICE

Gravity and the upward thrust are balanced, so the boat floats. What
would happen if the upward thrust were greater?

Gravity and the upward thrust are balanced, so the boat floats. What
would happen if the upward thrust were greater?
ENT PRACTICE
INDEPEND
1. Look at the image. In which case
do we have more pressure? Why?
2. Why do bubbles increase in
size as they approach the
surface?

3. Why does it become


difficult for a person to
breathe at high altitudes?
What happens if a person goes to the
beach wearing high heels? Explain
using the concept of pressure.
Extension
activity
On your copybook, use the concept of
pressure to explain the design of the
following objects
