A syringe has a fine needle with an inside diameter of 97.9 µm. The barrel has a diameter of 2.76 cm and is filled with water. Calculate the velocity of water as it squirts horizontally from the needle if you apply a force of 4.08 N onto the plunger. (Hint: you may approximate the area of the barrel to be much larger than the area of the needle). Please enter a numerical answer below. Accepted formats are numbers or "e" based scientific notation e.g. 0.23, -2, 1e6, 5.23e-8 Enter answer here m/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.
