1. A solid raft made of pine wood measures 4 meters on each side and is 0.35 meters thic The density of the pine wood is 550 kg/m' and the raft weighs 17,000 Newtons. This ra is placed into water which has a density of 1000 kg/m'. a. Will the raft float? (Yes or No) b. What is the weight of the water displaced by the raft? c. What is the buoyancy force needed for the raft to float? d. Calculate what the height the water line would need to be for the raft to float.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
