Question
Which one of the following represents a
physically possible situation?
O A diver measured gauge pressure in the sea to
be -100 kPa.
On a particularly cold day, the gauge pressure of
the atmosphere fell to -5 kPa.
O The absolute pressure in a pipeline was -20 kPa.
O The gauge pressure in a water flow was -25 kPa.
O On Mount Everest, atmospheric pressures as low
as -1500 Pa have been recorded.

Unless a submerged surface is horizontal, then
the fluid pressure acting on the surface will
vary from point to point. Although the force
on the surface due to the fluid pressure may
vary across the surface, the effect of the
varying force can be represented by a single
resultant force. The resultant force acts at a
point on the surface called:
centre of force.
centre of mass.
centre of pressure.
centre of gravity.
