THIS IS A TWO PART QUESTION!!! PLEASE COMPLETE ALL PARTS. ONE PART IS NEEDED FOR THE OTHER. THERE IS NO WAY FOR ME TO POST THE QUESTION SEPARATELY!!! A circular swimming pool has a flat bottom and a 6.11 m diameter. It is filled with water to a depth of 1.53 m. There is 0.462 atm of pressure on the top surface. a.) What is the absolute pressure at the bottom? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2 Answer in units of Pa. b.) Two people with a combined mass of 97.4 kg get into the pool and float there quietly. What is the resulting increase in the absolute pressure at the bottom? Answer in units of Pa.
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.
