Concept explainers

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.

On another planet that you are exploring, a large tank is open to the atmosphere and contains ethanol. A horizontal pipe of cross-sectional area 7.0×10−4m27.0×10−4m2 has one end inserted into the tank just above the bottom of the tank. The other end of the pipe is open to the atmosphere. The viscosity of the ethanol can be neglected. You measure the volume flow rate of the ethanol from the tank as a function of the depth hh of the ethanol in the tank. If you graph the volume flow rate squared as a function of hh, your data lie close to a straight line that has slope 2.09×10−5m5/s22.09×10−5m5/s2. What is the value of gg, the acceleration of a free-falling object at the surface of the planet? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
A hollow non-conducting spherical shell has inner radius R1 = 9 cm and outer radius R2 = 15 cm. A charge Q = -25 nC lies at the center of the shell. The shell carries a spherically symmetric charge density ρ = Ar for R1 < r < R2 that increases linearly with radius, where A = 17 μC/m4. What is the radial electric field at the point r = 2R2?
