If an inverted manometer is used to read a pressure in two unequal levels that is separated by air where it crosses the inverted-U part, then A. the pressure is larger in the higher level relative to the lower level. B. the pressure is smaller in the higher level relative to the lower level. C. they experience the same pressure. D. the data is still insufficient to conclude which one has a higher pressure.
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.
If an inverted manometer is used to read a pressure in two unequal levels that is separated by air where it crosses
the inverted-U part, then
A. the pressure is larger in the higher level relative to the lower level.
B. the pressure is smaller in the higher level relative to the lower level.
C. they experience the same pressure.
D. the data is still insufficient to conclude which one has a higher pressure.
