    This document provides an overview and summary of topics related to force and pressure that will be discussed in a Class 8 science chapter, including: 1. The definition of force as a push or pull and the mathematical formula for force. The two main types of forces are contact forces and non-contact forces. 2. Key non-contact forces include gravitational, electrostatic, and magnetic forces. Electrostatic forces cause opposite charges to attract and like charges to repel one another. 3. Pressure is defined as the force acting per unit surface area and is measured in units of pascals (N/m2). Pressure increases with depth for liquids and is equal in all directions at

    Force and Pressure Class 8 Notes [Short and Concise]

    What is Force?
    In simple words, Force is a push or pull.

    Mathematically, Force = Mass × Acceleration


    The SI unit of Force is Newton. It is denoted by the
    symbol N (Capital ‘N’) after the name of Issac Newton.
    Effects of Forces
    Force can move an object or bring an object in the state
    of motion from the rest position.
    Force can stop an object or bring an object at rest from
    the state of motion
    Force can change the direction of an object
    Force can accelerate (speed up) or de-accelerate (slow
    down) an object
    Force can change the shape of an object
    Force can change the size of an object

    Types of Forces
    There are two types of forces-

    1. Contact Force
    2. Non-Contact Force

    Contact Forces
    The type of forces experienced by bodies when they are in
    direct contact with each other.

    Examples:

    Muscular Force

    Frictional Force

    Normal Force

    Tension Force etc.

    Non-Contact Forces
    The type of forces which are able to push or pull even when
    the objects/bodies are not in physical or direct contact with
    each other.
    Examples: The Forces that come under this category are-

    Electrostatic Force

    Gravitational Force

    Magnetic Force etc

    Electrostatic Force
    The force applied by a charged body on another charged or
    uncharged body is called electrostatic force.

    Like Charges repel each other and Unlike charges attract each
    other.

    Like Charges: +ve and +ve or -ve and -ve

    Unlike Charges: +ve and -ve

    Gravitational Force
    It is the force of attraction that is acting between the
    objects in the universe.

    Note: It is an attractive force

    What is Gravity?

    It is the gravitational pull of earth on the objects lying on


    or near the earth’s surface.
    Magnetic Force
    The force attraction or repulsion produced by magnets. When
    magnetic materials are brought in near a magnet it attracts
    the objects.

    Like Poles repel each other and Unlike Poles attract each
    other.

    Muscular Force
    The forces due to the action of our muscles is called Muscular
    force.

    Frictional Force
    What is Force of Friction (Frictional Force)?
    It is the force that comes into action when the surfaces of
    two bodies come in contact with each other and it opposes the
    motion of the objects. It is not a fundamental force.

    Types of Frictional Force


    There are mainly two types of Frictional Forces-

    1. Static Friction
    2. Kinetic Friction (Sliding Friction & Rolling Friction)

    To Read More About Frictional Force Visit Here: Chapter 12


    Friction

    Pressure
    What is Pressure?
    It is the force acting on the unit surface of an area.
    Mathematically, Pressure = Force/Area

    The SI Unit of pressure is N/m².

    Question: What is the SI Unit of pressure?

    (A) N/m

    (B) pascal

    (C) both A and B

    (D) None of these

    Check Answer
    The correct answer is option (C) i.e., Both (A) and (B)

    Pressure Exerted by Liquids


    Important Points:

    pressure exerted by liquid increases with depth


    pressure exerted by liquid is same in all directions at
    a given depth.

    Manometer: It is an instrument used to measure the pressure


    difference

    Atmospheric Pressure
    The pressure exerted by the weight of the atmosphere on the
    earth’s surface.

    1 atm = 790 mmHg at sea level


    1 atm = 101325 Pa.
    Atmospheric Pressure can be measured by barometer
