Concept explainers

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.

Every few years, winds in Boulder, Colorado, attain sustained speeds of 43.0 m/s (about 100 mph) when jet steam descends during early spring. Approximately what is the force due to the Bernoulli equation on a roof having an area of 220m2? Typical air density in Boulder is 1.14kg/m3, and be corresponding atmospheric pressure is 8.89104 N/m2. (Bernoulli’s principal as stated in the text assumes laminar flow. Using the principle here produces only an approximate result, because there is significant turbulence.)
