A cube of ice Lo on each side is dropped into a beaker of water. Initially when the ice is first put into the water the water level is Vo. The water level is the volume of water read on the side of the beaker, it includes the volume of water plus the submerged volume of the ice (Draw a picture of this). The ice floats in the water and it is NOT completely submerged. "water" is liquid water "ice" is water ice Pwater> Pice What is the initial Water level? Your answer should be in terms of the density of water, the density of ice, Lo, and the initial amount of water in the beaker Vwater (initial). b. A little while later the ice has melted. It is now L₁ =Lo /4 on each side. What is the water level in the beaker? Later still the ice has completely melted. What is the water level in the beaker? a. C.
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.
