Supposing two liquids of different densities p=1750 kg/m³ and p=500 kg/m³ were poured together inside a 100L tank, filling it. If the resulting density of the mixture is 750 kg/m³, find (a) the mass and volume of each liquids used, (b) the weight of the mixture if the local acceleration due to gravity is g=9.81 m/s².
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.
