2. A wood 1.5 meters long, 2.0 meters wide, and 0.5 meters high is pushed downward in a pool of water. Calculate the buoyant force exerted on the wood 3. How heavy (mass) of the person applying a 5000 Pa on a platform with an area of 1355 cm?? 4. How much can an input force of 60 N over a piston in a hydraulic press with an area of 160 m² lift on a wider area of 400 m??
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.
