Archimedes' Principle Please complete the table and answer the following questions based on it. Thank you 1. What can you say about the weighing scale reading of the metal weight in air compared to the reading when submerged in water? 2. What happens to the weighing scale reading when the weight is wholly submerged in water? 3. Discuss the relationship of Mass Density, Unit Weight, and Specific Gravity using the values gathered in this experiment. How are they related?
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.
