22. The diagram shows a closed container partially filled with liquid. Point Y is 1 m below the lid, and Point Z is 3 m below the lid. If the absolute pressure at Point Y is 13,000 Pa, and the absolute pressure at Point Z is 29,000 Pa, what is the pressure at the liquid/gas interface, Point X?: * lid 'Z liquid OA. 3,000 Pa OB. 4,000 Pa OC. 5,000 Pa OD. 7,000 Pa OE. 8,000 Pa
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.
