This diagram covers Pressure Diagrams within Pressure for GCSE Physics. Revise Pressure in Forces for GCSE Physics with 15 exam-style questions and 12 flashcards. This is a high-frequency topic, so it is worth revising until the explanation feels precise and repeatable. It is section 5 of 16 in this topic. Focus on the labels, the relationships between parts, and the explanation that turns the diagram into an exam-ready answer.
🧭 Pressure Diagrams
Figure 1: Left — same force, different area gives different pressure. Right — fluid pressure increases with depth and acts in all directions.
Practice questions for Pressure
What is the correct equation for pressure?
Explain why a sharp knife cuts through food more easily than a blunt knife, even when the same force is applied to both.
Quick recall flashcards
What is pressure?
The force acting per unit area on a surface.
P = F / A
What is the equation for pressure?
P = F / A
Pressure (Pa) = Force (N) ÷ Area (m²)
