You carry a fire hose up a ladder to a height of 10.0 m above ground level and aim the nozzle at a burning roof that is 9.00 m high. You hold the hose horizontally and notice that the water strikes the roof at a horizontal distance of 4.0 m from where it exits the nozzle. The hose is connected to a large pressurized chamber in the fire truck 0.500 m above ground level. What is the pressure in the chamber
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.

You carry a fire hose up a ladder to a height of 10.0 mm above ground level and aim the nozzle at a burning roof that is 9.00 mm high. You hold the hose horizontally and notice that the water strikes the roof at a horizontal distance of 4.5 mm from where it exits the nozzle. The hose is connected to a large pressurized chamber in the fire truck 0.500 mm above ground level.
