Question 1.
Define gauge pressure.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we compare pressures above and below the atmosphere.
Question 2.
What is a control volume?
Show hintHide hint
Recall that we analyze forces and pressure within a specific area.
3Question 3.
What does Pascal's Law state?
- Pressure is constant
- Pressure increases with depth
- Pressure transmitted in all directions is constant
Show hintHide hint
Think about how pressure behaves in a closed container.
4Question 4.
True or False: Gauge pressure is always negative.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the context of gauge pressure compared to atmospheric pressure.
Question 5.
A tank is filled with two fluids: water (density = 1000 kg/m³) and oil (density = 800 kg/m³), with water on top. If the height of water is 5m and oil is 3m, calculate the pressure at the bottom of the tank.
Show hintHide hint
Calculate each pressure contribution separately before summing them.
Question 6.
In a fluid static equilibrium situation, if the height of water above a point is 12m, what is the gauge pressure in kPa?
Show hintHide hint
Convert your final answer into kPa for clarity.
