Fluids
How does increasing the temperature of a fluid in a closed container affect the pressure, assuming the volume remains constant?
A tire gauge reads 30 psi. What type of pressure is this reading?
A book weighing 20 N is placed flat on a table. If the area of the book in contact with the table is 0.5 m², what is the pressure exerted on the table due to the book's weight?
A rectangular block has dimensions of 0.1 m x 0.2 m x 0.3 m. A force of 6 N is applied to the largest face. Calculate the pressure exerted on this face.
Fluid pressure is caused by:
