    The document defines pressure as force per unit area and describes how pressure inside a balloon is greater than the outside pressure, causing it to maintain its size when inflated. It discusses atmospheric pressure exerted by gases in the atmosphere and how it is measured using a barometer invented by Evangelista Torricelli. The two main types of barometers are mercury and aneroid barometers, with the aneroid most commonly used in homes and boats. Pressure units discussed include torr, mmHg, Pa, and kPa.

    GOOD DAY!!

    

    PRAISED BE JESUS AND MARY!!


    PRESSURE
    - defined as force per unit area

     When air is pumped


    into balloon, the
    balloon stretches and
    maintain its size
    because the pressure
    inside it is greater
    than on the outside.
     The gases in the atmosphere exert
    atmospheric pressure.

    - is measured with a device known


    as a barometer, which was
    invented by Italian physicist and
    mathematician Evangelista
    Torricelli

    Two types of barometer:


    a. Mercury barometer
    b. Aneroid barometer used in homes or boats
    ANEROID BAROMETER

    MERCURY
    BAROMETER
     In honor of Torricelli, the unit torr was
    introduced to represent each millimeter of
    mercury.

     Metric unit of pressure is the millimeter of


    mercury (mm Hg)

     SI unit of pressure: Pascal (Pa)


    Kilopascal (kPa)
