13.1 Pressure Practice Problems 1. What is the difference between force and pressure? 2. Give the formula and units for each of the following: Formula Units a. pressure b. force ¢. area 3. What is the name for the SI unit of pressure? 4, The unit for pressure is very small (approximately the pressure exerted by a dollar bill resting flat on a table). Most scientists use (KPA) which is equal to Pa. 5. How does the amount of pressure you exert on the floor when you are lying down compare with the amount of pressure you exert when you are standing? 6. You have a closed bottle of soda, The force on the bottle cap due to the carbonation of the soda is 14N. If the area of the bottle cap is 7 cm®, what is the pressure on the cap? 7. Askater has aweight of 500N. The skate blades are in contact with the ice over an area of 0.001 m?, What is the pressure exerted on the ice by the skater? 8. A piston applies a pressure of 5,000 n/m®, If the piston has a surface area of 0.1 m?, how much force can the piston apply? 9. Aman weighs 800 N and wears boots that touch the ground over an area of .0420 m?. What is the average pressure his shoes exert on the ground in kPa?
