Learning objectives
- Bronze: Calculate pressure using p = F ÷ A. Describe how pressure in a liquid changes with depth.
- Silver: Explain why pressure increases with depth and density. Explain why atmospheric pressure falls with height.
- Gold: (HT) Use p = h ρ g. (HT) Explain upthrust and predict floating or sinking.
