A wind blows at the speec. of 30 m/s across a 175 m² flat roof of a house. (a) Whar is the pressure difference between the inside of the house and the outside of the house just above the roof? (Assume that the air pressure inside the house is atmospheric pressure.) (b) What is the force on the roof due to the pressure differen.ce?
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.
![Solve the problems below.
1. A wind blows at the speec. of 30 m/s across a 175 m2 flat roof of a house.
(a) Whar is the pressure difference between the inside of the house and the
outside of the house just above the roof? (Assume that the air pressure
inside the house is atmospheric pressure.)
(b) Whar is the force on the roof due to the pressure difference?
2. Water e:nters a house frorm a ground pipe with an inside dianmeter of 0.02
m at an absolute pressure of 4.0 x 105 Pa. A pipe that is 0.01 m in diameter
leads to the second-floor bathroom 5.0m above the ground floor. The flow
speed ar the ground pipe :s 1.5 m/s. Find the following:
(a) flow speed on the second floor; and
(b) pressure.
3. Water flows at a rate of 800 cm3/min in a pipe of varying cross-sectional
areas. Calculate the veloc.ty of the water at the section where:
(a) the radius is 3.0 cm; and
(b) the radius is 5.0 cm
