**Understanding the Viscosity of Olive Oil vs. Rubbing Alcohol** The following question explores the molecular structure and behavior that affects the viscosity of olive oil and rubbing alcohol: **Question:** Which statement describes why the viscosity of olive oil is higher than that of rubbing alcohol? **Options:** - **A.** The molecules that make up olive oil are attracted to one another, while the molecules that make up alcohol repel one another. - **B.** The molecules that make up olive oil are shorter than those that make up alcohol, so they have more resistance to sliding past one another. - **C.** The molecules that make up olive oil repel one another, while the molecules that make up alcohol are attracted to one another. - **D.** The molecules that make up olive oil are longer than those that make up alcohol, so they have more resistance to sliding past one another. Each option represents a hypothesis about the molecular interactions responsible for differing viscosities in olive oil and rubbing alcohol. Understanding these interactions can help explain why certain liquids flow more easily than others.

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.
