A U-shaped pressure gauge (used to measure pressure) is initially full of water, but is exposed to a pressure difference such that the water level on its left side is 0.05 m higher than the water level on its right side. At t = 0, the pressure difference is suddenly removed. When friction is neglected, the height of the water level on the left side and measured from the central plane between the two initial water levels is given by the solution of the equation: ,d²y L' dt? -2gy
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.
