(Figure 1) shows a container with a cross section area of 15 cm² in which a layer of water floats on top of a layer of mercury. A 1.0 kg wood block with a cross-section area of 10 cm² floats on the water. The water depth, measured from the bottom of the block, is 25 cm. A pressure gauge at the bottom of the container reads 20 kPa. Figure 1.0 kg 25 cm h 10 cm² 15 cm² 1 of 1 ▼ Part A What is the depth dm of the mercury?

A: The formula for the pressure difference in terms of viscosity of the fluid is:

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.
