Understanding Water Pressure Experiment

The document outlines a physics experiment on pressure using a plastic bottle, water, and push pins to demonstrate how water pressure varies with depth. It explains that the bottom hole experiences the highest pressure, causing water to shoot out farther when the lid is opened. Additionally, it discusses the principles of pressure, including its dependence on depth and density, and provides relevant formulas.

After the bottle
lid is opened,
water will stream
out from all holes,
but the water will
shoot out farther
and more
forcefully from
the bottom hole

Resu
Lower (deeper) place gets more weight
pressing down
So,
- The bottom hole gets the HIGHEST
pressure
- The top hole gets the LOWEST
Conclusi pressure
- The water coming out from the
bottom hole goes the farthest and
Questi Why the water
doesn’t flow
on from the holes
before we open

When the lid is closed


tightly, the effect of

is not experienced on

Hence water cannot
PRESSURE
 Pressure is caused by the weight of water (or
other fluid) above an object

 Of the water and of the air

 Pressure caused by water is much greater than


that caused by air because water is much denser
than air

 In a fluid as water or air, pressure acts equally in


all directions because the molecules of the fluid
move around in all directions, causing pressure
on every surface they collide with
PRESSURE

𝐹 A large force pressing on a small area


gives a high pressure
𝑃= Pressure is the force per unit area acting

𝐴 on a surface

P = Pressure (Pa; Pascal)


F = Force (N; Newton)
A = Area(m2; square meters)

Pressure is proportional to depth (h)

Pressure also depends on the density (ρ)of
the material
The denser, the greater the pressure

ΔP = change in pressure (Pa; Pascal)
