Consider the following section of pipe. The velocity of water (Pwater 1000 kg) and height are given for two different points in the pipe. Use this information to answer the following questions. h₁ V₁ = 2.9 m h₁ = 3.2 m V₂ = 6.7 m S h₂ 1.9 mi Point 1 What is the ratio of the cross-sectional area t point 1 to the cross-sectional area at point 2? A₁ A₂ x What is the difference in pressure between points 1 and 2? (Find P2 - P₁. Include a negative sign if that's what you calculate.) P₂-P₁ = 2 X Pa Which direction is the water flowing through the pipe? 3 From Point 1 to Point 2✔ Point 2 I h₂
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.
