Consider a m-350kg sphere, made of metal whose density is ps=4200kg/m3. It is attatched to a ripe such that the sphere is handing, fully submereged in a pool of water with no support from the sides. The desnity of water is ps=1000kg/m3. A.) Which of the following most likely represents the free body diagram. fg= gravity, fb=bouyant force, t= tension. (REFER TO THE ATTATCHED FIGURE) B.) Which of the following would be the most accurate to describe the magnitude of the bouyant forces. - Fb=mg -Fb=Vspwg -Fb=mg+t -Fb=0 C.) If the Sphere were swapped with one made of wood (density of wood =600kg/m3) what direction will the net force on the sphere point
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.
