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 15, Problem 38PCE

Predict/Explain In the preceding problem, suppose the block of wood with the ball “high and dry” is floating in a tank of water. (a) When the block is inverted, does the water level in the tank increase, decrease, or stay the same? (b) Choose the best explanation from among the following:

I. Inverting the block makes the block float higher in the water, which lowers the water level in the tank.
II. The same mass is supported by the water in either case, and therefore the amount of displaced water is the same.
III. The inverted block floats lower in the water, which displaces more water and raises the level in the tank.

Required information Two speakers vibrate in phase with each other at 523 Hz. At certain points in the room, the sound waves from the two speakers interfere destructively. One such point is 1.45 m from speaker #1 and is between 2.00 m and 4.00 m from speaker #2. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. How far is this point from speaker #2? m

a) Consider the following function, where A is a constant. y(x,t) = A(x — vt). Can this represent a wave that travels along?
