Mind Map on Force

and Pressure for Class


8

Force

Force is a push or pull acting on an object. It


can change the object's shape, direction, or
motion.
Definition and Types
Types of forces include contact forces (like
friction) and non-contact forces (like gravity).

Force is measured in Newtons…


Measurement of Force
Tools like spring scales can be used to measure
the amount of force applied.

Pressure

Pressure is defined as the amount of force


exerted per unit area.
Definition and Calculation
The formula for pressure is P = F/A, where P is
pressure, F is force, and A is area.

The standard unit of pressure is Pascal (Pa).


Units of Pressure
Other units include atmospheres (atm)
millimeters
and of mercury (mmHg).

Applications of Force and Pressure

Force is used in activities such as pushing a cart


or pulling a rope.
Everyday Applications
Pressure is involved in various applications
hydraulic
like systems and tire inflation.

Understanding force and pressure is crucial


fields
in like engineering and physics.
Scientific Applications
Examples include designing bridges
calculating
and the pressure in gases.

Relationship Between Force and Pressure

Increasing the force applied to a certain area


increases the pressure.
How They Interact
Similarly, if the area over which a force is
applied increases, the pressure de-
creases.
A sharp knife exerts more pressure because
has
it a smaller area compared to a blunt knife.
Practical Examples
In fluids, pressure increases with depth due
the
to weight of the fluid above.

Experiments Related to Force and Pressure

Use a balloon to demonstrate how pressure


changes with force by adding weight.
Simple Experiments
Measuring the pressure in different liquids
observe
to variations based on depth.

Conducting experiments en-


understanding
hances of concepts.
Educational Importance
It encourages students to apply theoretical
knowledge in practical situations.
