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.

I keep getting this wrong despite working it out many times. Can I please get some insight on the right approach? A team of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. In addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. With what minimum initial speed ?esc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? Assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density ?=3.32×106 g/m3 and volume ?=2.40×1012 m3 . Recall that the universal gravitational constant is ?=6.67×10−11 N·m2/kg2 .

You plan to take a trip to the moon. Since you do not have a traditional spaceship with rockets, you will need to leave the earth with enough speed to make it to the moon. Some information that will help during this problem: mearth = 5.9742 x 1024 kgrearth = 6.3781 x 106 mmmoon = 7.36 x 1022 kgrmoon = 1.7374 x 106 mdearth to moon = 3.844 x 108 m (center to center)G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2 1) On your first attempt you leave the surface of the earth at v = 5534 m/s. How far from the center of the earth will you get? 2) Since that is not far enough, you consult a friend who calculates (correctly) the minimum speed needed as vmin = 11068 m/s. If you leave the surface of the earth at this speed, how fast will you be moving at the surface of the moon?
