Fluid Statics
Fluid Statics: It is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals
with the behavior/response of fluid when they are at rest.

exerted per unit area. It is denoted by P and is given by;

As you know atmospheric pressure reduces, as we move to
higher elevations. Is it because of h, as h reduces, P also reduces.

Atmospheric Pressure
It is defined as weight of air per unit
surface area of earth.
It decreases with increase in
elevation w.r.t. surface of earth.

Measurement of Atmospheric Pressure
Barometer: It is device used
to measure the atmospheric
pressure at any point on the
earth.
There are two types of
barometer
(i) Liquid barometer
10
(i) Liquid barometer
It measures the pressure with
help of column of liquid
(ii) Aneroid barometer
It measures atmospheric
pressure by its action on an
elastic lid of evacuated box.
Liquid Barometer
It consists of a transparent tube which
is open from one end only. The tube is
filled with liquid and is inserted in a jar
also containing same liquid. The liquid
initially drops in tube due to gravity but
stabilizes at certain level under the
action of atmospheric forces. The

atmospheric pressure is then measured
as height of liquid at which it stabilizes.

Liquid Barometer
Generally, mercury is preferred liquid because its vapour pressure is
minimum. Moreover, its specific gravity is very high so that size
(height) of barometer required is small.
However, for other liquid vapour pressure must be considered in
estimation.
13
The barometer using mercury is called mercury barometer and
while using water is called water barometer.
Size of barometer tube should be more than inches (or 13mm)
to avoid capillarity.
Absolute Pressure
Gauge Pressure (Pg): It is the pressure measured relative to
atmospheric pressure (P
atm
) and is always above the atmospheric
pressure
It may be defined as normal compressive force per unit area
Vacuum Pressure (P
vac
): It is the pressure measured relative to
atmospheric pressure and is less than the atmospheric pressure

atmospheric pressure and is less than the atmospheric pressure
It may be defined as normal tensile force per unit area

3. Mechanical Pressure Transducer (Bourden gauge)
4. Electrical Pressure Transducer
1. Piezometer
It is used to measure pressure in
pipes or vessels.
In it simplest form, it consists of a
transparent tube open from other
ends
The diameter of tube should > to
avoid capillarity action
23
avoid capillarity action
Piezometers may be connected to
sides or bottom of pipe to avoid
eddies that are produced in the top
region of pipe
Limitations:
It must only be used for liquids
It should not be used for high pressure
It cannot measure vacuum (-ve) pressure
When connected to pipes, the
water level rises in it which
gives a measure of pressure.
2. Manometer

One end of tube is connected
with the pipe whose pressure is
required to be determined.
Due to pressure, level of
manometric fluid rises on one side
while it falls on other side.
The difference in levels is
measured to estimate the
pressure.

Advantages and Limitation of Manometers
Advantages
Easy to fabricate
Less expansive
Good accuracy
High sensitivity
Require little maintenance
Limitations
Usually bulky and large in size
Being fragile, get broken easily
Reading of manometer is get
affected by temperature,
altitude and gravity
Capillary action is created due
33
Require little maintenance
Not affected by vibration
Specially suitable for low
pressure and low differential
pressure
Easy to change sensitivity by
changing manometric fluid
Capillary action is created due
to surface action
Meniscus has to be measured
accurately for better accuracy.
3. Mechanical Pressure Transducer
Transducer is a device which is used to transfer energy from one
system to other
Mechanical pressure transducer converts pressure system to
displacement in mechanical measuring system
Bourden Gauge is used to measure high pressure either positive
or negative. It gives pressure directly in psi of Pascal units
34
or negative. It gives pressure directly in psi of Pascal units
Bourden Gauge
The essential mechanical
element in this gage is the
hollow, elastic curved tube
which is connected to the
pressure source as shown
in Fig.
35
in Fig.
As the pressure within the
tube increases the tube tends
to straighten, and although
the deformation is small, it
can be translated into the
motion of a pointer on a
dial as illustrated.
Fig. Bourden gauge
Bourden Gauge
Since it is the difference in pressure between the outside
of the tube and the inside of the tube that causes the
movement of the tube, the indicated pressure is gage
pressure.
The Bourdon gage must be calibrated so that the dial
reading can directly indicate the pressure in suitable units
36
reading can directly indicate the pressure in suitable units
such as psi, psf, or pascals.
A zero reading on the gage indicates that the measured
pressure is equal to the local atmospheric pressure.
This type of gage can be used to measure a negative gage
pressure (vacuum) as well as positive pressures.

Bourden gauge gives pressure at the
center of dial. So to calculate pressure

liquid at rest on any side of submerged body.
It is the summation of product of uniform pressures and elementary
areas of submerged body

It is equal to the product of submerged area and pressure at the
centroid of the submerged area
Forces on Plane Area

The point of application of resultant

is called center of pressure.

Thus, we find the total force on any plane area submerged in a liquid
by multiplying the specific weight of the liquid by the product of the

The value of F is independent of the angle of inclination of the plane
so long as the depth of its centroid is unchanged.
Since is pressure at the centroid, we can also say that total

Drag and Lift Force

Lift is the component of aerodynamic
force perpendicular to the relative wind.
Drag is the component of aerodynamic
force parallel to the relative wind.
Weight is the force directed downward
70
Weight is the force directed downward
from the center of mass of the airplane
towards the center of the earth.
Thrust is the force produced by the
engine. It is directed forward along the
axis of the engine.
Drag and Lift Force
The drag force acts in a direction that is
opposite of the relative flow velocity.
Affected by cross-section area (form
drag)
Affected by surface smoothness
(surface drag)
71
The lift force acts in a direction that is
perpendicular to the relative flow.
CD= Coefficient of drag
CL= Coefficient of lift
A=projected area of body
normal to flow
V= relative wind velocity
Buoyancy and Floatation
When a body is immersed wholly or partially in a fluid, it is subjected to an
upward force which tends to lift (buoy)it up.
The tendency of immersed body to be lifted up in the fluid due to an
upward force opposite to action of gravity is known as buoyancy.
The force tending to lift up the body under such conditions is known as
72
The force tending to lift up the body under such conditions is known as
buoyant force or force of buoyancy or up-thrust.
The magnitude of the buoyant force can be determined by Archimedes
principle which states
When a body is immersed in a fluid either wholly or partially, it is
buoyed or lifted up by a force which is equal to the weight of fluid
displaced by the body
