viscous fluid flows in two different pipes. Pipe 1 has a radius r1, and Pipe 2 has a radius r2. If both pipes have the same length and r1 > r2, choose the correct statement about the pressure difference of the fluid in Pipe 1 and Pipe 2. Assume that the volume flow rates are the same in the two pipes. Group of answer choices The fluid in Pipe 1 has larger pressure difference.
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.

The fluid in Pipe 1 has larger pressure difference.
The fluid in Pipe 2 has larger pressure difference.
The pressure difference of the fluid is the same in Pipe 1 and Pipe 2.
It cannot be determined in which pipe the fluid has larger pressure difference.
