A hose has been clamped so that the area at the clamp is only one quarter the area of the rest of the hose. When we ignore the viscosity of water, the ratio of the volume of water delivered per unit time when the clamp is on to the volume of water delivered per unit time without the clamp is (A 1 16 1 B 8 4 E) 1. 1/2
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.
