1. A u-shaped tube is connected to a flexible tube that has a membrane- covered funnel on the opposite end as shown in the drawing. Justin finds that no matter which way he orients to membrane, the height of the liquid in the u-shaped tube does not change. Which of the following choices best describes this behavior? A) Archimedes' principle B) Bernoul's principle C) continuity equation D) irotational flow E) Pascal's principle 2. Which one of the following statements concerning the buoyant force on an object submerged in a liquid is true? A) The buoyant force depends on the mass of the object. B) The buoyant force depends on the weight of the object. C) The buoyant force is independent of the density of the liquid. D) The buoyant force depends on the volume of the liquid displaced. E) The buoyant force will increase with depth if the liquid is incompressible.
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.
