NGSS.MS-PS2-2

Scalar quantity that describes the force per unit area exerted by a fluid. It is expressed in units of force per unit area, such as N/m²

• Buoyancy

• Density

• Depth

• Pressure

In hydrostatic the weight of the fluid divided by the area supporting it. This definition highlights the relationship between pressure and the weight of the fluid, as well as the role of the area over which the pressure is exerted.

• Density

• Depth

• Pressure

• Buoyancy
