No. How is the pressure defined?Jrlinton said:Homework Statement
Find the pressure increase in the fluid in a syringe when a nurse applies a force of 43 N to the syringe's circular piston, which has a radius of 1.1 cm.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
So the answer should just be the force multiplied by the area of the plunger, no?
43N*pi*0.011m^2
0.016346 Pa
Simple pressure refers to the force exerted by a fluid on the walls of its container or any object placed within the fluid.
Simple pressure is the pressure at a specific point in a fluid, while absolute pressure takes into account the atmospheric pressure in addition to the pressure of the fluid.
The equation for calculating simple pressure is P = F/A, where P is pressure, F is the force exerted by the fluid, and A is the area over which the force is applied.
Some common units for measuring simple pressure include pascals (Pa), kilopascals (kPa), pounds per square inch (psi), and atmospheres (atm).
Objects submerged in a fluid experience pressure from all directions, causing a net force on the object. This can result in buoyant forces and changes in the object's shape or volume.
