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 …

A surveyor measures the distance across a straight river by the following method: Starting directly across from a tree on the opposite bank, he walks x = 97.7 m along the riverbank to establish a baseline. Then he sights across to the tree. The angle from his baseline to the tree is θ = 33.0 °. How wide is the river?

A small turtle moves at a speed of 697. furlong/fortnight. Find the speed of the turtle in centimeters per second. Note that 1.00 furlong = 220. yards, 1.00 yard = 3.00 feet, 1.00 foot = 12.0 inches, 1.00 inch = 2.54 cm, and 1.00 fortnight = 14.0 days.
