Pressure
Learning Time: 3-10 hours
Content: Pressure is a subject that examines the ratio of the force applied to a surface to a unit area. This subject covers the definition of pressure, atmospheric pressure, liquid pressure (Pascal’s Law), pressure measuring instruments (manometer, barometer), and their practical applications. TYT focuses on basic pressure calculations and Pascal’s Law, while AYT focuses on complex systems and error analysis. The current 2025 curriculum also covers pressure changes due to climate change and their applications in engineering. Learning this subject forms the basis for understanding liquid and gas behavior.
