A manometer filled with mercury with a density of 13600 9 is used to measure the pressure of the oil tank at point A. One end is connected to the tank and the other end is open to atmosphere. If the height difference shown by the manometer is h = 50 cm, determine the absolute pressure of the oil at point A. Note that the oil container is at sea level level, thus the local atmospheric pressure is 101325 Pa. Pressure gage Air Open to atmosphere Oil h = 50 cm A Mercury
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.
