    Revision Sheet 15.3 pressure and depth

    Name: ________________________________ Class: ______________________ date: _____________

    Question 1: Write the letter of the correct answer in the space provided.
    1. Which of the following statements about pressure in fluids is true?
    A) Pressure is higher at the surface than at depth.
    B) Pressure decreases with depth.
    C) Pressure is the same at all depths.
    D) Pressure increases with depth.
    2. What does a barometer measure?
    A) Fluid density
    B) Fluid temperature
    C) Atmospheric pressure
    D) Fluid velocity
    3. According to Pascal’s Principle, how is applied pressure transmitted throughout a fluid in a closed
    container?
    a. Pressure decreases toward the container walls.
    b. Pressure increases toward the container walls.
    c. Pressure is transmitted equally and uniformly throughout the fluid.
    d. Pressure depends on the shape of the container.
    4. Which principle explains why hydraulic brakes work effectively in vehicles?
    A) Archimedes' principle
    B) Bernoulli’s principle
    C) Pascal’s principle
    D) Newton’s third law

    5. What happens to atmospheric pressure as altitude increases?
    A) It increases.
    B) It decreases.
    C) It remains constant.
    D) It fluctuates randomly.

    Question 2: Describe how Pascal’s principle is applied in hydraulic brakes .


    Pascal’s principle is applied in hydraulic brakes by using a small force applied at the brake pedal to create
    pressure in a confined brake fluid. This pressure is transmitted equally throughout the brake fluid, allowing
    a larger force to be exerted on the brake pads at the wheels.
    Question 3: Why does atmospheric pressure decrease with altitude? Explain the underlying reason using the
    concepts of pressure and fluid weight.
    Atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude because the weight of the air above decreases as you go
    higher.

    Question 4: A closed vessel is crushed by external pressure when it reaches a certain depth in water.
    What could happen if this same container is immersed in mercury? Explain
    The container will be crushed in a shallower depth in mercury as it has higher density.

    Question 5: Describe the relationship between pressure and depth in a fluid. How does this relationship affect divers
    underwater?
    The pressure in a fluid increases with depth due to the increasing weight of the fluid above. For divers, this
    means that as they go deeper, the pressure exerted on their bodies increases.

    Question 6: Suppose the atmospheric pressure 𝑃atm is 101,325 Pa, the density of water 𝜌 is 1000 kg/m3, and
    𝑔=9.8 m/s2. Calculate the pressure at a depth of 10 meters in water.

    𝑃=𝑃atm+𝜌𝑔ℎ

    𝑃=101,325 Pa+(1000 kg/m3)(9.8 m/s2)(10 m)

    𝑃=101,325 Pa+98,000 Pa

    𝑃 =199,325 Pa

    Question 7: A hydraulic lift in a car repair shop uses Pascal’s principle. If a force of 500 N is applied to a small
    piston with an area of 0.01 m²,

    a- What force can be exerted by a larger piston with an area of 0.1 m²?

    b- What is the pressure on the larger piston?


    P=F/A
    P = 5000 / 0.1
    P = 50000 Pa
