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 13, Problem 5P

How big is a million dollars? At the time this text was written, the price of gold was about $1400 per ounce, while that of silver was about $20 an ounce. The “ounce” in this case is the troy ounce, which is equal to 31.1035 g. (The more familiar avoirdupois ounce is equal to 28.35 g.) The density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³ and that of silver is 10.5 g/cm³. (a) If you found a spherical gold nugget worth $1 million, what would be its diameter? (b) How much would a silver nugget of that size be worth?
