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.

Kercise 11.31
A lead sphere has volume 6.0 cm when it is resting on a lab
table, where the pressure applied to the sphere is atmospheric
pressure. The sphere is then placed in the fluid of a hydraulic
press. For solving this problem, you may need data from Table
11.1 in the textbook.
Part A
What increase in the pressure above atmospheric pressure produces a 0.70 % decrease in the volume of the sphere?
Express your answer in atmospheres.
