Recitation An oak block had the following dimension, 2 cm by 2 cm and 5 cm in height. A copper block had the same dimensions. The copper block was on top of the wood block and both blocks were submerged tightly inside a water container. Find the average density of the composite block, average density total mass / submerged volume) %3D An oak olock had the following dimension, 2 cm by 2 cm and 5 cm in height. The oak block was floating on water. An insect landed on the oak block such that the oak block density became the same as water. The insect was not getting submerged and just stayed on top of the oak block, while the oak block was totally submerged. Find the mass of the insect using water density of 1 g/cc.
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.
