Constants | Periodic Table A raft is made of 14 logs lashed together. Each is 43 cm in diameter and has a length of 6.2 m Part A How many people can the raft hold before they start getting their feet wet, assuming the average person has a mass of 66 kg ? Do not neglect the weight of the logs. Assume the specific gravity of wood is 0.60. Express your answer using two significant figures.
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.
