A conical container of radius 8 ft and height 32 ft is filled to a height of 29 ft with a liquid weighing 64.4 lb/ft³. How much work will it take to pump the liquid to a level of 3 ft above the cone's rim? C... The amount of work required to pump the liquid to a level 3 ft above the rim of the tank is ft. lb. (Simplify your answer. Do not round until the final answer. Then round to the nearest tenth as needed.)
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.
