Mercury Barometer
The full tube of
mercury is
inverted and
placed in a dish of
mercury.
The barometer is
used to measure
atmospheric
pressure.
Given:
m = 2.0 g = 2.0 x 10-3kg
r = 0.25 mm = 2.5 x 10-4 m
A of circle = r2
P = F = mg

1.01 x 105 Pa
P = 0.988 atm
Given:
P = 1atm
A = 10 m2
F = ?
1 atm
P = 1.01 x 105 Pa = 1.01 x 105 N/m2
P = F/A
F = PA
F = (1.01 x 105 N/m2)(10 m2)
F = 1.01 x 106 N

Dependence of Pressure in a
Gas
BOYLES LAW
At constant temperature (T), the volume
(V) of a fixed mass of gas is inversely
proportional to the Pressure (P).

Blaise Pascal
French philosopher and scientist
One of the pioneer in the physics of fluids
Pascals Principle:
Any pressure applied to a confined fluid will
be transmitted undiminished to all parts of the
fluid.

P = F/A = mg/A
P = Vg / A
P = hAg / A
P = hg
m = V
V = hA
Given:
h = 2.5 m
= 1 x 103 kg/m3
A)P = Pa?
B) P total = ?
P = hg
P = (2.5 m)(1 x 103 kg/m3 )(9.8 m/sec2)
P = 2.45 x 104 kg.m/sec2

P = 2.45 x 104 N/m2 = 2.45 x 104 Pa
B) P total = P + Patm
P total = 2.45 x 104 Pa + 1.01 x 105 Pa
P total = 1.26 x 105 Pa
Given:
h = 1.5 m
= 1.05 x 103 kg/m3 (whole blood)
-table 5.2 page 105
A) P = N/m2
B) Ptotal = ?
A) P = hg
P = (1.5 m)(1.05 x 103 kg/m3)(9.8 m/sec2)
P = 15435 N/m2 = 1.5 x 104 N/m2
B) P total = ?
P total = P + Patm
Ptotal = 1.5 x 104 N/m2 + 1.01 x 105 N/m2
P total = 1.16 x 105 N/m2

Barometer
Measures atmospheric pressures in a manner
analogous to manometer
Bouyant force
Upward force of the water on the body
Net upward force equal to the weight of the fluid
BF = wfl

1.0 g/cm3
The fraction of the object that is submerged is equal
to the ratio of the density of the object to the density
of the fluid.
Hydrometer
measures the density of liquid
Laminar Flow
Smooth and quiet
Turbulent Flow
Has eddies, swirls and ripples
Resistance is greater than laminar flow
J.L. Poiseuille
French scientist
Interested in physics of blood circulation

Given:
F = 2.0 cm3/min

Bernoullis Principle:
Where the speed of a fluid is high, the
pressure is low; and where the speed of a
fluid is low, the pressure is high.
Venturi
Tube with constriction designed to increase
the Bernoulli effect
Adhesive Forces
Attractive forces between dissimilar molecules
Surface Tension
Surface Tension
Resistance of a liquid to increase its surface
area
Surface Tension
the result of the molecules at the surface of
a liquid being pulled inward by molecules
that lie below the surface layer.
Capillary Action
Capillary action is the spontaneous
rising of a liquid in a narrow tube.
Capillary Action
results from the cohesive forces within
the liquid and the adhesive forces
between the liquid and the walls.
Adhesive force is greater than cohesive
force
Capillary Action
results from cohesive forces within the
liquid and the adhesive forces between
the liquid and the walls.
Meniscus
When a liquid is placed in a glass cylinder,
the surface of the liquid shows a curve
called the meniscus.
