On the specification
| Board | Spec | Statement |
|---|---|---|
| AQA GCSE 8463 | 4.5.5.1.2 | Pressure in a fluid 2 |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 15.15P | Explain why an object in a fluid is subject to an upwards force (upthrust) and relate this to examples including objects that are fully immersed in a fluid (liquid or gas) or partially immersed in a liquid |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 15.16P | Recall that the upthrust is equal to the weight of fluid displaced |
| Edexcel GCSE 1PH0 | 15.17P | Explain how the factors (upthrust, weight, density of fluid) influence whether an object will float or sink |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P1.3h | Describe the factors which influence floating and sinking |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P1.3i | Explain why pressure in a liquid varies with depth and density and how this leads to an upwards force on a partially submerged object |
| OCR GCSE J249 | P1.3j | Calculate the differences in pressure at different depths in a liquid knowledge that strength of the gravitational field and has a value of 10 N/kg near the Earth’s surface |
| OCR GCSE J249 | PM1.3ii | Apply: pressure due to a column of liquid (Pa) = height of column (m) |
