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 12, Problem 41PE

A layer of oil 1.50 mm thick is placed between two microscope slides. Researchers find that a force of

5.50 × 10 − 4 N is required to glide one over the other at a speed of 1.00 cm/s when their contact area is 6.00 cm². What is the oil's viscosity? What type of oil might it be?
