How can I explain the difference between the pressure in a pressure cooker and the pressure at the bottom of the ocean to someone not used to scaling up or down general concepts? Nicely. thanks yo

I mean explain how there isn't a difference.

>>7704483
You sure you you're the one who should be explaining things to people?

Too bad there is a difference, between positive and negative pressure....
>>
>>7704483
Just give them the equation for pressure.

P= F/A. I don't understand how it gets any harder than that.

theres isnt negative pressure in a pressure cooker or the bottom of the ocean.............
>>
>>7704800
When comparing the two directly then yes there is. There is a directional component.

i dont think you understand what negative pressure is
>>

You don't. "Negative pressure" can mean either the inside of a vessel has a higher pressure than the outside, or vice versa. If you were in a vacuum, you can say that's "negative pressure." Or if a pressure cooker lets off steam and then cools down, it's going to have internal "negative pressure." Either way, you're not going to measure pressure as a negative number. It's just a way to describe the direction of pressure that is considered opposite of the norm.

>pressure pushing inwards
>not the opposite of pressure pushing outwards
You are dense.
>>
>>7704483
But that is a different kind of pressure, pressure caused by gas having nowhere to go when it is generated as opposed to pressure caused by the weight of the liquid.

I... what?
Both are basically driven by entropy, and are the result of high/low density systems interfacing with each other.
Are you dumb?

>>7705103
He is obviously considering the hypothetical situation of an atmospheric chamber inside the cooker and at the bottom of the ocean on which a positive pressure would act.

Uhm one thing is made to cook things and the other is made to keep Cth'ulu at bay
