Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 30mins
This is defined as the force per unit area exerted by a liquid or gas on a body or surface, with the force acting at right angles to the surface uniformly in all directions.
Pressure
Normal Stress
Pascal's Law
Pressure Head
This principle states that the pressure on a fluid is equal in all directions in all parts of the container.
Pascal's Law
Pressure
Principle of Motion
Stevin's Law
It is the pressure above absolute zero pressure (absolute vacuum),
Absolute Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure
Vacuum Pressure
Gage Pressure
It is the pressure at any one point on the Earth's surface.
Absolute Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure
Vacuum Pressure
Gage Pressure
It is the pressure below the atmospheric pressure.
Absolute Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure
Vacuum Pressure
Gage Pressure
It is the pressure above or below the atmospheric and can be measured by pressure gauges or manometers.
Absolute Pressure
Atmospheric Pressure
Vacuum Pressure
Gage Pressure
Absolute pressure can NEVER be a negative value.
TRUE
FALSE
This is the simplest form of manometer. It is a tube tapped into a wall of a container or conduit for the purpose of measuring pressure.
Piezometer
Open Manometer
Differential Manometer
U-tube Manometer
This is a pressure measuring device that has an accurate and relatively simple way to measure changes in the atmospheric pressure. This uses mercury to measure pressure.
Aneroid Barometer
Mercury Barometer
If a depth of liquid of 1 m causes a pressure of 7 kPa, what is the specific gravity of the liquid?
(a)
Assuming the specific weight of air to be constant at 12 N/m^3, what is the approximate height of Mt. Banahaw if a mercury barometer at the base of the mountain reads 654 mm and at the same instant, another barometer at the top of the mountain reads 480mm. (Round your answer to the nearest 2 decimal places)
(a)
A barometer reads 760 mmHg and a pressure gage attached to a tank reads 850 cm of oil (sp.gr. 0.80). What is the absolute pressure in the tank in kPa? ( Round off to the nearest 1 decimal place.)
(a)
A manometer reads 180 kPa, what is the absolute pressure?
(a)
What is the value of atmospheric pressure in mm Hg?
(a)
What is the value of absolute pressure in absolute vacuum?
(a)
