When you are swimming at the bottom of a pool, the water above and around you exerts force on your eardrum. Calculate the force (in N) exerted on your eardrum when you are at the bottom of a pool that is 5.0 m deep. Assume that the area of your eardrum is 1 cm^2 and the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 (10,000 cm^2 = 1m^2) (Ans: 5N) To solve this, which of the following equation/s should you use (check as many that best applies) O AL= OLOAT 4 TtEO r2 Tc = 1.

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.
