FLUIDS AND DENSITY
Phases of Matter Liquid
Atoms move past each other
Gas Fluids
Atoms far apart Flow
Neither set volume or shape Both liquids and gases
Compressible
05-01 FLUIDS AND DENSITY
Where
= density Solids most dense
m = mass Gases least dense
V = Volume See Table 11.1
05-02 PRESSURE AND DEPTH
In their wanderings they sometimes collide with the sides of their
container (i.e. balloon)
The more the molecules collide with the walls, the more force is felt
05-02 PRESSURE AND DEPTH
P = Pressure
F = Force perpendicular to surface
A = Area of surface
The force that squashes the juice box is from the weight of all the
air above it
If the pressure is known at a depth, the pressure lower down can
be found by adding ρgh
This is a good estimate for liquids, but not for gasses unless h is
small
05-02 PRESSURE AND DEPTH
Basis of hydraulics
Since , if we change the area, the
force is changed
05-03 PASCAL’S PRINCIPLE AND MEASURING
PRESSURE
Gauge Pressure
Used by pressure gauges
Measures pressure relative to atmospheric pressure
Absolute Pressure
Sum of gauge pressure and atmospheric pressure
05-03 PASCAL’S PRINCIPLE AND MEASURING
PRESSURE
Open-Tube
Manometer
U-shaped tube with fluid in it
One end is connected to the
container of which we want to
measure the pressure
The other end is open to the
air
05-03 PASCAL’S PRINCIPLE AND MEASURING
PRESSURE
Barometer
Used to measure air pressure
Pressure at top = 0
Pressure at bottom =
05-04 ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE
05-04 ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE
Archimedes’ Principle
Buoyant force = weight of the displaced fluid
An object will float if its average density < density of the fluid
In other words, it will float if it displaces more fluid than its
own weight
05-04 ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE
Specific Gravity
Flow Rate
A = cross-section area
= average velocity of fluid
Q = Flow rate
V = Volume of fluid
t = time

05-05 FLOW RATE AND BERNOULLI’S EQUATION
Derivation
05-05 FLOW RATE AND BERNOULLI’S EQUATION
Divide by V and rearrange
Bernoulli’s Equation
This is a form of conservation of energy where the net work comes from the
pressure in the fluid.
05-05 FLOW RATE AND BERNOULLI’S EQUATION
Think about driving down a road with something in your car’s trunk.
The object is too large to completely shut the trunk lid. While the car is
stopped, the lid quietly rests as far down as it can go. As you drive down
the road, why does the trunk open?
The air in the trunk is still. The air above the trunk is moving.
The air in the trunk is at a higher pressure than above the trunk. So the
trunk is pushed open.
05-05 FLOW RATE AND BERNOULLI’S EQUATION
Why do all houses need a plumbing vent?
The top of the wing is curved and the bottom is not. The air flows
faster over the top of the wing, than the bottom. This pushes the
wing up.
