  4. Fluid Pressure Height

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a fluid, what is the term for the height of a fluid column that exerts a certain pressure?
  • Step 1: Understand that fluids can exert pressure due to their weight.
  • Step 2: Know that the height of a fluid column is important in determining how much pressure it exerts.
  • Step 3: Learn that the term for this height is called 'hydrostatic head.'
  • Step 4: Remember that hydrostatic head can be calculated using the formula: pressure = density × gravitational acceleration × height.
  • Step 5: Rearrange the formula to find height: height = pressure / (density × gravitational acceleration).
