A rectangular bar made of nickel (B=7.8×1010 Pa) has dimension of 50.0 cm by 30.0 cm by 15.0 cm when it is on the surface of the earth where the pressure is 1.013×105 Pa. The bar is then taken to the bottom of the sea where all of its dimension decreases by 0.200%.What is the pressure exerted on the rectangular bar at the bottom of the sea?
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.
