a stiff, 15-cm-long tube with an inner diameter of 3.5 mm is attached to a small hole in the side of a tall beaker. the tube sticks out horizontally. the beaker is filled with 20⁰c water to a level 50 cm above the hole, and it is continually topped off to it maintain that level. What is volume flow rate through the tube? The viscosity of water is 1.0×10^-3 Pa×s.
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.
