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 …

Explanation of Solution

Introduction: Polymers are large molecules having high molecular mass, formed by joining of repeating structural units called monomers.

Polymers that are artificially made in laboratoriesare called synthetic polymers.

Unlike natural polymers, synthetic polymers possess good strength, flexibility, resistivity, and chemical inertness. Nylon is a synthetic polymer used for making ropes, fabric, and even tyres.

Polythene is one of the simplest synthetic polymer that finds a wide variety of uses in daily life.

Conclusion: Synthetic polymers include a wide range of materials that are important in today’s world.
