True or False. If the given pressure is not specified, assume it is gage pressure. correct
answers True
Height of a column of liquid that is needed to produce the pressure "P" correct answers
Pressure head
The material composition is the same but its mechanical properties are different in every
direction correct answers Orthotropic material
Materials whose properties remain the same when tested in different direction correct
