Say you’re in your neighbor’s pool, waiting near the bottom until your neighbors give up trying to chase you off and go back into the house. You’re near the deep end of the pool, and using the handy pressure gauge you always carry, you measure the pressure on the back of your hand as 1.2 x 105 pascals. What force does the water exert on the back of your hand? The back of your hand has an area of about 8.4x103 square meters. Give the following and encode it please. This is not a writing assignment Given = Required = Formula = Solution = Answer =
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.
