What are the two factors that affect the pressure of the fluid?

For incompressible fluids it is its density and the height of the fluid over the point where the pressure needs to be determined


How does the height of the object or distance from the surface affect the impact crater?

Due to height and pressure


How does the motion of a fluid affect its pressure?

i dont really know.


What is the pressure of a 100 foot height pipe?

The pressure of a pipe at a 100-foot height is dependent on the fluid inside the pipe and the acceleration due to gravity. The pressure can be calculated using the equation P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the fluid density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the column of fluid.


Does depth affect water resistance?

Resistance of water is probably defined as pressure being applied by water on objects and as it's stated in fluid mechanics books pressure increases as height decreases or depth increases, so simply the answer is "yes".


What is the Experiment used to measure pressure in a flowing fluid?

I believe it is experiment on Bernoulli's principle that use conservation of energy to calculate velocity or flow of the incompressible fluid. It is stated Total Pressure = static Pressure at reference height + momentum + potential height See attachment for experiment detail.


What causes cavitation in a pump?

cavitation is caused when vapour pressure in the fluid in higher equal to the surrronding presure. in the case of centrifugal pump, when the hydraulic pressure (due to height) in the fluid falls below the vapour pressure of the fluid itself, cavitation wil occur.


What is the relationship between liquid pressure and depth of a liquid?

As the depth of the fluid increases, the pressure increases. To explain this mathematicaly you consider the Sg of the fluid times the height of the column multiplied by gravity will give you the pressure at the base of the column


How do you calculate static head?

unit pressure exerted at any given point within a fluid body resultant from the height of the fluid column


How does the speed of a fluid affect it's pressure?

in hydrodynamics pressure is inversely proportionate to speed. ie. Resting water has the greatest amount of pressure.


How cavitation can be eleminated in a pump?

cavitation is caused when vapour pressure in the fluid in higher equal to the surrronding presure. in the case of centrifugal pump, when the hydraulic pressure (due to height) in the fluid falls below the vapour pressure of the fluid itself, cavitation wil occur.
