Pressure simulation for school physics
Pressure depends on how force is distributed and, in a fluid, on depth and density. Use controlled changes to see which variables affect a pressure measurement.
Open the interactive physics simulatorConcepts to investigate
- Fluid depth
- Density
- Hydrostatic pressure
- Pressure differences
How to use the simulator
- Choose a prepared experiment or create a scene with approved objects.
- Predict what will happen before changing a single variable.
- Run, pause, reset, inspect, and graph supported measurements.
- Compare the result with the model limitations and an independent calculation or practical measurement.
