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 …

Textbook Question

Chapter 13, Problem 83GP

When you ascend or descend a great deal when driving in a car, your ears “pop,” which means that the pressure behind the eardrum is being equalized to that outside. If this did not happen, what would be the approximate force on an eardrum of area 0.20 cm² if a change in altitude of 950 m takes place?

Defination of voltage

At point A, 3.20 m from a small source of sound that is emitting uniformly in all directions, the intensity level is 58.0 dB. What is the intensity of the sound at A? How far from the source must you go so that the intensity is one-fourth of what it was at A? How far must you go so that the sound level is one-fourth of what it was at A?

Make a plot of the acceleration of a ball that is thrown upward at 20 m/s subject to gravitation alone (no drag). Assume upward is the +y direction (and downward negative y).
