Key points to remember

  • Pressure is produced by liquids and gases as well as by solids.
    திண்மங்கள் மட்டுமில்ல, திரவங்களும் வாயுக்களும் அமுக்கத்த உண்டாக்குது.
    ඝන වස්තුවලින් මෙන්ම ද්‍රව සහ වායුවලින් ද පීඩනය ඇති වේ.
  • The pressure due to a liquid acts in every direction.
    திரவத்தால உண்டாகும் அமுக்கம் எல்லாத் திசையிலயும் தாக்குது.
    ද්‍රවයක් නිසා ඇතිවන පීඩනය සෑම දිශාවකටම ක්‍රියා කරයි.
  • The pressure due to a liquid increases as the depth (height of the liquid column) increases.
    ஆழம் (திரவ நிரலோட உயரம்) கூட திரவ அமுக்கம் கூடும்.
    ගැඹුර (ද්‍රව කඳේ උස) වැඩි වන විට ද්‍රවයක් නිසා ඇතිවන පීඩනය වැඩි වේ.
  • P = hρg gives the pressure of a liquid column: h = height of the column, ρ = density, g = gravitational acceleration.
    P = hρg திரவ நிரலோட அமுக்கத்த தரும்: h = நிரலோட உயரம், ρ = திரவத்தோட அடர்த்தி, g = ஈர்ப்பு ஆர்முடுகல்.
    P = hρg මගින් ද්‍රව කඳක පීඩනය ලැබේ: h = කඳේ උස, ρ = ඝනත්වය, g = ගුරුත්වජ ත්වරණය.
  • The air around the Earth is the atmosphere, and the pressure made by it is the atmospheric pressure.
    பூமிய சுத்தி இருக்கற காத்து வாயுமண்டலம்; அது உண்டாக்கற அமுக்கம் வளிமண்டல அமுக்கம்.
    පෘථිවිය වටා ඇති වාතය වායුගෝලයයි, එයින් ඇතිවන පීඩනය වායුගෝලීය පීඩනයයි.
  • At sea level the average atmospheric pressure is 76 cm Hg: the pressure of a mercury column 76 cm high.
    கடல் மட்டத்துல சராசரி வளிமண்டல அமுக்கம் 76 cm Hg: 76 cm உயர இரச நிரலோட அமுக்கம்.
    මුහුදු මට්ටමේදී සාමාන්‍ය වායුගෝලීය පීඩනය 76 cm Hg වේ: උස 76 cm රසදිය කඳක පීඩනය.
  • The mercury barometer and the aneroid barometer measure atmospheric pressure.
    இரச பாரமானியும் அனிரொய்ட் பாரமானியும் வளிமண்டல அமுக்கத்த அளக்குது.
    රසදිය වායු පීඩනමානය සහ නිර්ද්‍රව වායු පීඩනමානය වායුගෝලීය පීඩනය මනියි.
  • An object partly or fully submerged in a liquid feels an upthrust equal to the weight of the liquid it displaces.
    திரவத்துல பகுதியாவோ முழுசாவோ மூழ்கிய பொருள் மேல, அது இடம்பெயர்த்த திரவத்தோட நிறைக்கு சமமான மேலுதைப்பு தாக்கும்.
    ද්‍රවයක අර්ධ වශයෙන් හෝ සම්පූර්ණයෙන් ගිලී ඇති වස්තුවකට දැනෙන උඩුකුරු තෙරපුම එය විස්ථාපනය කරන ද්‍රවයේ බරට සමාන වේ.
  • An object floating on a liquid: the weight of the liquid displaced equals the weight of the object.
    திரவத்துல மிதக்கற பொருள்: இடம்பெயர்த்த திரவத்தோட நிறை பொருளோட நிறைக்கு சமம்.
    ද්‍රවයක පාවෙන වස්තුවක්: විස්ථාපිත ද්‍රවයේ බර වස්තුවේ බරට සමාන වේ.

A worked example

Textbook example · Ch.15, p.63பாடப்புத்தக உதாரணம் · பாடம் 15, ப.63පෙළපොත් නිදසුන · 15 පරි., පි.63

A cubic box of weight 400 N is on a table. The area of its bottom is 0.2 m². Find the pressure on the table under the box.
Step 1

Pressure is force on each unit area, so Pressure = force ÷ area. The force is the box's weight, 400 N.

Step 2

Put the numbers in: 400 N ÷ 0.2 m².

Step 3

400 ÷ 0.2 = 2000. The unit is N m⁻², which is the pascal.

Final answer: the pressure is 2000 Pa.

அமுக்கம் ஓரலகு பரப்பளவு மேல தாக்கும் விசை, அதனால அமுக்கம் = விசை ÷ பரப்பளவு. விசை பெட்டியோட நிறை, 400 N.

පීඩනය යනු ඒකක වර්ගඵලයක් මත බලයයි, එබැවින් පීඩනය = බලය ÷ වර්ගඵලය. බලය පෙට්ටියේ බර, 400 N වේ.
