Water travels through a pipe at 7.50 m/s. The pipe expands from a crossectional area of 2.2 m2 to an area of 13.2 m2. What is the speed of the water in the second part of the pipe in m/s? How much is the pressure change in KPa as the pipe expands? The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Enter a positive value for an increase in pressure, a negative value for a decrease. Please WRITE out instead of typing, thank you.
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.
