EXPERIMENT TWO: Surface tension by rise in a capilla. 1) Falling rain drops are spherical in shape due to: (a) surface tension. (b) air upthrust. (c) low temperature. (d) its weight. (2) Circulation of blood in the body: (a) is solely due to pumping by heart. (b) is solely due to surface tension. (c) is due to pumping through the arteries and veins but due to surface tension through the smallest blood vessels. (d) has nothing to do with physics. (3) Surface tension: (a) helps in transporting the water and nutrients from the roots to the leaves. (b) may help in transporting the water through the roots but not to the leaves. (c) is a physical phenomenon which has nothing to do with botony. (d) my help in transporting the blood through body but not water through the trees
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.
