This fourth (and last) quarter, three topics relating to pressure had been introduced. These three topics are namely Pascal’s Principle, Archimedes’ Principle, and Bernoulli’s Principle. All three have one thing in common, which is the fact that they all observe the Law of Conservation. Many inferences and applications may have been experienced and possibly, one out of these three may have had a heavy impact on our lives starting from the very day we have learned about that particular experience and that particular experience involves being “sucked in”

In Bernoulli’s Principle, we know that in a tube with varied radii, pressure decreases in the areas with less diameter which in turn allows air to move faster. This phenomenon is quite familiar at the startof high school. If we could take the time to look back at our selves in our freshman year, we would remember that things were quite different as compared to elementary school. (middle school in my case) We’d be pressured by the heaping piles of assignments and the blackened dates on the calendar for long tests. We drown ourselves in every petty situation and we become less aware of our social being. We become robots in such a way we see things monotonous and we practically feel nothing. I, for one, did not experience that. I knew that I needed a break here and there. With all the pressure building up in a huge space, I try my best to squeeze things into my busy schedule to safely make the time pass. I believe that not everybody can survive tedious tasks without taking breaks once in a while and with that being said, I suggest that they should look into my way of working things through.

The case of an airfoil is another story. The shape, as the book and as Ma’am Bridge says, is responsible for the lift. In my opinion, the shape is not entirely responsible for...
