(Figure 1) shows two rectangular tanks, A and B, full of water. They have equal depths and equal thicknesses (the dimension into the page) but different widths. Compare the forces the water exerts on the bottoms of the tanks. Is F, larger than, smaller than, or equal to Fв? Еxplain. Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Figure 1 of 1 mass The pressure at the bottom of each tank is proportional to the of the depth The area of the bottom of tank A is larger than the area of the bot From p= F/A, will be greater at the bottom of tank A because the mass of water is greater in this tank Sides В will be the same because the depth of the water in each tank is the same
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.
please dont make the answer complicated, please go straight to the point
