Fluid Mechanics (Pressure Distribution in Fluids)

Indicate whether the statements are correct or incorrect. 1. In a f luid at rest, the pressure at a point varies with direction. 2. In a f luid at rest the pressure at a constant level will be equal at all locations. 3. T he pressure on the base of a liquid column will depend upon the shape of the column. 4. T he pressure over a f ree surf ace of a f luid at rest will vary with location. 5. For low pressure measurement a manometric f luid with low density will be better. 6. In a manometer, the f luid column will rise if the pressure measured is above the atmosphere. 7. In a manometer, the f luid column will f all if the pressure inside is less than atmospheric. 8. T he vacuum gauge reading will increase as the absolute pressure decreases. 9. T he absolute pressure is equal to the vacuum gauge reading. 10. Absolute pressure = atmospheric pressure vacuum gauge reading. Answers Correct : 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 Incorrect : 1, 3, 4, 9
