How many pounds of pressure does it take to break an arm?
The amount of pressure that it takes to break an arm depends on the strength of the arm and the angle in which the pressure is applied. On the average, it takes 120 pounds of pressure.
Why is your tire always flat at the bottom?
Your TIRE, has hundreds of pounds of weight and pressure, and the tire is made of flexible material. It will be a little flat when stationary, or in motion. Just like feet; the pressure flattens temporarily with pressure applied.
What is the equation for pressure when the force is perpendicular to the surface area?
Pressure of solid on a solidWhen you apply a force to a solid object, the pressure is defined as the force applied divided by the area of application. The equation for pressure is: P = F/AwhereP is the pressureF is the applied forceA is the surface area where the force is appliedF/A is F divided by AFor example, if you push on an object with your hand with a force of 20 pounds, and the area of your hand is 10 square inches, then the pressure you are exerting is 20 / 10 = 2 pounds per square inch.
The operation of a hydraulic device can be explained in terms of?
The principal is called Pascal's Principle. Pascal's principle states that a pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted everywhere in the fluid. Hence, if a pressure is applied to one side of an enclosed fluid, all the other walls containing the fluid feel the same pressure. The pressure is transmitted without being diminished. Fluid generally refers to either a liquid or a gas. If a pressure is applied to a compressible gas, Pascal's principle still applies, but the volume of the gas will change. For Pascal's principle to be useful to hydraulics, the fluid should be an incompressible liquid, which will transmit the applied pressure without changing its volume.
What do you mean by calibration of a pressure gauge?
I used to do this for a living. The pressure guage is mounted on a testing machine (usually but not always a machine called a dead-weight tester) and the readings given by the pressure guage when known pressures are applied is noted. For example, a pressure of 300 pounds per square inch is applied and the guage reads 295 pounds per square inch when the pressure is rising, but might read 305 pounds per square inch when the pressure is falling. This difference in guage reading when pressure is rising to when pressure is falling is called hysteresis. A calibration certificate for the guage is issued showing the guage readings obtained at known pressures when pressure is rising and falling. In some cases, the guage readings may be very inaccurate and if the guage has some sort of adjustment mechanism, this may be adjusted to obtain more accurate readings.
What is the force per unit of area?
Pressure is force applied over an area. Pressure is most commonly measured in Pascals (SI), Dynes (CGS), or PSI (Pounds per square inch).
