“Pressure in Everyday Life”
Pressure is the ratio of force to the surface area over which it is exerted. Though
solids exert pressure, the most interesting examples of pressure involve fluids—that
is, gases and liquids—and in particular water and air. Pressure plays a number of
important roles in daily life, among them its function in the operation of pumps and
hydraulic presses. The maintenance of ordinary air pressure is essential to human
health and well-being: the body is perfectly suited to the ordinary pressure of the
atmosphere, and if that pressure is altered significantly, a person may experience
harmful or even fatal side-effects.
Application of atmospheric pressure or just air pressure refers to the numerous
activities that we do or observe every day without even realising that there is an iota
of pressure getting in to the picture. This is the same air pressure which is equivalent
to 15 lbs per square inch at sea level and helps keep things around us the way they
are. Let’s take a look at the different application of air pressure that we fail to note
but are omnipresent.
Working of a doctor's syringe revolves around the principle of lowering the
atmospheric pressure inside the syringe cylinder. As we pull up the plunger of
syringe there is a decrease in atmospheric pressure inside the syringe cylinder. The
higher atmospheric pressure outside pushes the liquid from the vial up, and when
the plunger is pushed back the liquid is forced out due to higher atmospheric
pressure above the plunger.
Blood pressure check up requires an inflatable cuff wrapped around the arm which is
inflated to the max to stop the flow of blood and in turn calculate the blood pressure
produced by heart. This reading gives the idea of high blood pressure and as soon
the cuff is deflated the bloodflow gushes through and becomes normal after
sometime. The cessation of blood flowing under pressure gives an idea of lower
point of blood pressure.
When we breathe the atmospheric pressure of 15 lbs at sea level causes the oxygen
to pass through the semi permeable membrane easily. If the same activity is carried
out in higher altitudes might cause hypoxia or deprivation of oxygen due to lower air
atmospheric pressure. The application of air pressure and its scope is innumerable
and the above mentioned examples are just a few to highlight that with.

What I Have Learned

1. Pressure is the most easily measured gas property defined as the force
exerted upon by colliding molecules per unit area of a surface.
2. (a.) Standard Atmosphere (atm) - The 1 atm is equal to the pressure that
supports a column of mercury which is exactly 760 mmHg.
(b.) Torr (or mmHg) mmHg - Represents the pressure exerted by a column of
a mercury which exactly equals to atmosphere.
(c.) Pounds per square inch (psi) - Refers to the force (in pounds) per square
inch of the unit area.
(d.) Kilopascal (kPa) - A kilopascal is equal to 1000 pascals (Pa). It is the SI
unit for pressure.

Performance Task: Make a Short Poem About “Pressure in Everyday Life”

Pressure Before Pleasure
(Pressure in the context of academic life)

At the beginning of every term,

Comes a brand new start,
Minds refreshed
Promises made within our hearts.
Sitting on edge, bodies squirm.
New changes, same old faces.

Time settles in, seasons past by.

 Work overload has made time fly.
Teachers don't care about social lives.
Tired minds, lazy people only know lies,
For their excuses for the reason why.

Hair all frazzled as gray hairs creep in.

Baggy eyes, sleepy heads.
A million assignments all for tomorrow.
Not completing them considered the deadliest sin.
No time for the outside world,
Only homework, projects and assignments to drive us to shreds.

Restless nights, late morning departures.

Constant late slips but completed assignments.
We, the students academic marcher,
who march and stand up to the making of our bright futures.

Additional classes help to pursue our specific majors.

Added experiences equal impressive resumes.
College applications,scholarship essays to be completed.
Hard work, perseverance and diligence are what it takes,
For success to be a real sweet treat.

What’s New: Graph Analysis

 The graph resembles a segment of a hyperbola, and
that it indicates an inverse relationship between the
volume exhibited by gases and pressure to which they
are subjected. When the pressure applied increases,
the volume occupied by the gas decreases and vice
versa.
A linear graph shows a direct proportion that exists
between a gas' volume and Kelvin temperature.
Generally when the temperature in Kelvin
increases/decreases, its occupied volume also
increases/decreases at equal proportion.

Similar to volume-temperature relationship of a gas,

its volume is also directly proportional to the amount of
gas in moles. As the numbers of gas particles
increases/decreases, the volume also
increases/decreases in the same proportion.
