Understanding Pressure in Static Fluids: Simple Tutorials and Illustrations

[Misr]

hello world,
We are studing about static fluids and i can't introduce the concept of pressure to my mind
I can't imagine what is pressure?What is pressure at a point?I need images and iluustrations
could you suggest for me some simple tutorials and some pages to read in order to fully imagine what is pressure?
Thanks

Are you wanting something for pressure in general, or specific for a fluid? A general example is to simply press down on your arm or to set something in your hand. For a fluid or gas the first picture in the following article seems like it might help. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure

Strictly speaking, "pressure" isn't defined at a point. The pressure on a region is the total force on that region divided by the area of the region. Of course, if the force is constant on the entire region, no matter what "sub region" we take, we would always get the same fraction and so could think of that as the pressure "at a point". If the force varies, you would have to use a "limit process" as is done in Calculus.

Thanks very much for the page,I'm checking it

Hello there,

Understanding pressure in static fluids can be a challenging concept, but with the right resources and illustrations, it can become much clearer. Pressure in a fluid is the force exerted by the fluid on an object per unit area. This means that the pressure at a point is the amount of force that the fluid is pushing on that specific point.

To help visualize this, I suggest looking into some simple tutorials and illustrations that can break down this concept for you. One great resource is Khan Academy, which has a variety of videos and interactive simulations that can help explain pressure in static fluids. Another helpful resource is the website Physics Classroom, which has clear explanations and diagrams to aid in understanding pressure.

Additionally, I recommend reading through some introductory chapters or sections in a fluid mechanics textbook that cover pressure in static fluids. This will provide you with a more in-depth understanding of the concept and its applications.

I hope these suggestions help you better understand pressure in static fluids. Remember, it's important to take your time and review the material thoroughly to fully grasp the concept. Best of luck in your studies!
