Question 1.
What happens to pressure as you go deeper in a fluid?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the weight of fluid above.
Question 2.
What is a manometer used for?
Show hintHide hint
Consider pressure at two different points.
3Question 3.
What is the formula to calculate pressure at a certain depth in a fluid?
- P = h * ρ * g
- P = ρ * g
- P = h * g
Show hintHide hint
Remember the components that contribute to pressure.
4Question 4.
True or False: Pressure decreases with depth in a fluid.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens in a swimming pool.
Question 5.
A tank contains 5m of water on top of 1m of oil (relative density 0.85). Calculate the pressure at the base of the tank.
Show hintHide hint
Don't forget to sum both contributions of pressure.
Question 6.
A pipe carries water and has a height difference between two points of 4m. If the density of water is 1000 kg/m³, calculate the pressure difference.
Show hintHide hint
Use the depth difference and water's density.
