A steel beam is suspended completely under water by a cable that is attached to one end of the beam, so it hangs vertically. Another identical beam is also suspended completely under water, but by a cable that is attached to the center of the beam, so it hangs horizontally. Which beam, if either, experiences the greater buoyant force? Neglect any change in water density with depth. O The beam that hangs vertically experiences the greater buoyant force. O The beam that hangs horizontally experiences the greater buoyant force. O They experience the same buoyant force.

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.
