Concept explainers

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 …

Textbook Question

Chapter 12.1, Problem 2bT

Suppose you wanted to determine the pressure at the top surface of layer 1. Which force would you use to determine this pressure? If necessary, modify your free-body diagrams to include this force. Be sure to label your diagram to indicate the object that exerts this force.
