A house water tank has two separate compartments that pump water out through two pipes as shown in the picture below. If water enters the pipes at the pressure and velocities given, what is the velocity of the water as it leaves each pipe? Тор P;= 200 kPa V;= 3.0 m/s Tank P2= Po 10m V2= ? Bottom P= 200 kPa- V;= 3.0 m/s 10 m P2= Po V2= ? Tank 12 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.
