A snorkel is a U-shaped tube used to breathe with your head underwater (Leading from your mouth to the air just above the water surface). Assuming you build a very long snorkel so that you can breathe at a depth of 33 ft, what would be the pressure difference between your lungs and the water around you? WARNING: this is extremely dangerous and should never be attempted. Select the correct answer O 0 atm Your Answer atm O 33 atm O 1 atm
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.
