While on a camping trip, a man would like to carry water from the lake to his campsite. He fills two, non-identical buckets with water and attaches them to a 1.11 m long rod. Since the buckets are not identical, he finds that the rod balances about a point located at a length I = 0.0655 m from its midpoint, as shown. The weight of the rod and empty buckets is negligible compared to the weight of the water, and the buckets are not shown to scale. Which bucket holds more water? bucket 2 They hold the same amount of water. bucket 1 How much more water does the heavier bucket contain, expressed as a percentage? 20.2 percentage: % Incorrect
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.
Cannot figure out the percentage, and it is not 21.11% either.
