Pressure
Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. It is a measure of how much force is acting on a given area.
Formula
The formula for pressure is:
Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)
Units of Pressure
Pressure can be measured in different units, but the most common units of pressure are:
- Pascal (Pa)
- Atmosphere (atm)
- Millimeters of Mercury (mmHg)
- Pounds per Square Inch (psi)
Applications
Pressure is an important concept in various fields such as physics, engineering, and meteorology. It is used to understand and calculate the behavior of fluids, design structures, and predict weather patterns.
Study Guide
- Understand the concept of pressure and how it is calculated using the formula P = F/A.
- Be familiar with the units of pressure and how to convert between them.
- Practice solving problems involving pressure, force, and area.
- Explore real-world applications of pressure in different fields.

The Number System
Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers.
Know that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. Understand informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number. [8-NS1]
Expressions and Equations
Work with radicals and integer exponents.
Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations of the form x^2 = p and x^3 = p, where p is a positive rational number. Evaluate square roots of small perfect squares and cube roots of small perfect cubes. Know that √2 is irrational. [8-EE2]
