· The bottom hole squirts water the furthest
· Because the water at the bottom has the greatest pressure
· Because in the formula ∆p = h × ρ × g, ρ is constant, g is constant and h is large
· So ∆p = large

· 5.6 recall and use the relationship for pressure difference:
pressure difference = height × density × g
∆p = h × ρ × g
∆p = pressure of the fluid (N/m2 or Pa)
h = height of the fluid (m)
ρ = density of the fluid (kg/m3)
g = gravitational field strength (N/kg)
5.5
· 5.5 understand that the pressure at a point in a gas or liquid which is at rest acts equally in all directions

· 5.4 recall and use the relationship between pressure, force and area:
pressure = force / area
p = F / A

· Your finger pushes on the pin and the pin pushes back on your finger
· N3L tells us that all these two forces are equal in size
· The pin pushes on the wall and the wall pushes back on the pin
· N3L tells us that all these two forces are also equal in size
· If the surface area is large then the force is spread over a large area and the pressure is low
· If the surface area is small then the force is spread over a small area and the pressure is high
· You would like the pressure on your finger to be low and the pressure on the wall to be high
· The other way round is painful!
