What is Fluid pressure: Definition and 53 Discussions
Pressure (symbol: p or P) is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Gauge pressure (also spelled gage pressure) is the pressure relative to the ambient pressure.
Various units are used to express pressure. Some of these derive from a unit of force divided by a unit of area; the SI unit of pressure, the pascal (Pa), for example, is one newton per square metre (N/m2); similarly, the pound-force per square inch (psi) is the traditional unit of pressure in the imperial and U.S. customary systems. Pressure may also be expressed in terms of standard atmospheric pressure; the atmosphere (atm) is equal to this pressure, and the torr is defined as 1⁄760 of this. Manometric units such as the centimetre of water, millimetre of mercury, and inch of mercury are used to express pressures in terms of the height of column of a particular fluid in a manometer.
A patient is given an injection with a hypodermic needle 3.2 cm long and 0.25 mm in diameter. Assuming the solution being injected has the same density and viscosity as water at 20°C, find the pressure difference needed to inject the solution at the rate of 1.5 g/s.

Hi. I need help on how to set up the integral for these problems.
1. A cylindrical gasoline tank is placed so that the axis of the cylinder is horizontal. Find the fluid force on a circular end of the tank if the tank is half full, assuming that the diameter is 3 feet and the gasoline...
If we imagine a fluid traveling through a pipe as being a warm
current of sea-water moving over a cold denser layer of sea-water,
with the air immediately above the warm current forming one wall of
the pipe, would the pressure
of the warm current decrease as the current travels faster,and if...
