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 64GP

II A hurricane wind blows across a 6.00 m × 5.0 m flat roof at a speed of 130 km/h.

a. Is the air pressure above the roof higher or lower than the pressure inside the house? Explain.

b. What is the pressure difference?

c. How much force is exerted on the roof? If the roof cannot withstand this much force, will it “blow in” or “blow out”?
