Fluids
13.3 Pressure
! The pressure P of the fluid at the level
to which the device has been submerged
is the ratio of the force to the area
Measuring Pressure
! Since the net force must be zero (because the fluid is in static equilibrium)
=0
P = P0 + !gh
! The pressure P at a depth h below a point
in the liquid at which the pressure is P0
is greater by an amount !gh
! If the liquid is open to the atmosphere, and P0 is
the pressure at the surface of the liquid, then P0 is
atmospheric pressure
! P0 = 1.00 atm = 1.013 x 105 Pa (REMEMBER!!)
P = P + !gh
A2/A1 = "x1/"x2
! Combining the equations,
!
which means (using W = F!x), W1 = W2
! This is a consequence of Conservation of Energy
! Pressure @ B =
P0+!gh
Reminder: P = P0 + !gh
Archimedes principle:
Archimedes's Principle
Archimedes's Principle:
Totally Submerged Object
! When an object is totally submerged in a fluid of density!
the magnitude of upward buoyant force is !
volume of object!
"
Archimedes's Principle:
Totally Submerged Object
! If the density of the object is less than the density of the fluid,
(light object) the unsupported object accelerates upward!
! If the density of the object is more than the density of the fluid,
(heavy object) the unsupported object sinks!
! The motion of an object in a fluid is determined by the densities
of the fluid and the object!
"
Archimedes's Principle:
Floating Object
! Now consider an object of volume Vobj and density "obj < "fluid in
static equilibrium - partially submerged (see Fig)!
! The upward buoyant force is balanced by the downward force of
gravity: Fg = B!
! The following equation is tell us that the fraction of volume of
a floating object is equal to the ratio of the density of the object
to that of the fluid. !
