A cargo ship of mass 50000 metric tonnes is floating in the Great Lakes. The Great Lakes are fresh water, so we can assume a density of 1000kg/m³. What is the volume of water displaced by this cargo ship? m3 Submit Answer Tries 0/2 If the volume of the cargo ship is 1.43×105 m³, what percentage of the ship's volume is below water? %
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.
