A person does the back float in a freshwater lake and later does the same in the ocean. In which case is more of the person's body above the water line? A-The person will float with more of her body above water in the ocean. B-The person will float with more of her body above water in freshwater. C-Since both situations involve the person floating in a solution that is primarily water, there will not be a difference between the two 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.
