ter flow through a horizontal, short garden hose at a rate of 36 kg/min. The velocity at the inlet is 1.7 m/s and that at the outlet is 14.7 m/s. Disregard the weight of the hose and water. Taking the momentum-flux correction factor to be 1.08 at both the inlet and the outlet, the anchoring force (in N; hint: the answer is a negative number) required to hold the hose
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.
