Static Pressure



Title Static Pressure
Description This is an easy 2 page intro to fluids for my AP Physics B class. It leads students to explore pressure at depth, Pascal's Principle, hydraulic pistons, and the difference between absolute and gauge pressure. We will have previously discussed density and pressure. AP Physics B students will also need Archimedes' Principle and Fluid Dynamics labs.
