1. To inflate tire (pressure the pump creates ignites air into the tire)
2. To measure altitude (pressure increase with altitude)

5. To engineer submarines that can go deeply in water
6. To make injections (sharp needle means lower area and greater pressure)
7. To vacuum-clean your room
8. To cook food
