Introduction
The Hydrostatics is the science of fluids with no motion. A fluid is defined as a substance that continually flows under an applied shear stress regardless of how small the applied stress. All liquids and all gases are fluids. The term fluid is usually mistaken as liquid, but it actually covers a lot of the phases of matter (liquids, gases, plasmas and others).

Mass and Weight


The mass of an object is a fundamental property of the object; a numerical measure of its inertia; a fundamental measure of the amount of matter in the object. While the mass is normally considered to be an unchanging property of an object, at speeds approaching the speed of light one must consider the increase in the relativistic mass. The weight of an object is the force of gravity on the object and may be defined as the mass times the acceleration of gravity, w = mg. Since the weight is a force, its SI unit is the newton. Density is mass/volume.

Density
is defined as the ratio of mass per unit volume. It is generally represented by the Greek letter rho, , and measured in terms of kilograms/cubic meter, or kg/m3 , slugs/ft.

Since the volume of a fluid expands and contracts, the density of fluids vary with temperature. The most common fluid, water, has maximum density of 1000 kg/m3 at 4C. Air, a mixture composed principally of the gases nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), has a density of 1.29 kg/m3 at 0C and 1.20 kg/m3 at 20C.

What is a Slug?
The slug is the unit of mass in the US common system of units, where the pound is the unit of force. The pound is therefore the unit of weight since weight is defined as the force of gravity on an object.

What is a Slug?
The comparison of the slug and the pound makes it clear why the size of the pound is more practical for commerce. But at the precision obtainable in current scientific work, it is undesirable to have the weight of an object as a standard because the value of g does change measurably at different points on the Earth. It is much better to have a standard in terms of mass. The standard kilogram is the mass reference for scientific work.

Specific Gravity
- is the ratio of the density of a substance to the

density of a reference substance. - it is the ratio of densities, is a dimensionless quantity How a liquid's density compares to that of water at 4C is called its specific gravity. If a liquid has a specific gravity of 0.9, then its density is 0.9 times that of water, or 0.9 x 1000 = 900 kg/m3.

A hydrometer is an instrument used to measure the specific gravity.

Specific Volume
- the specific volume of a substance is the ratio of the

substance's volume to its mass. It is the reciprocal of density and is an intrinsic property of matter:

GAUGE PRESSURE
Pressure gauges measure the difference between an

unknown pressure and atmospheric pressure. What they measure is known as gauge pressure, and the true pressure is known as absolute pressure:

A tire whose gauge pressure is 2 bar contains air at an absolute pressure of about 3 bar, since sea-level atmospheric pressure is about 1 bar.

A 65-kg woman balances on the heel of her right shoe,

which has a circular base 1 cm in radius. How much pressure does she exert on the ground?
The area of the heel is A = r 2 = 3.14 cm 2 = 3.14 10 4 m 2. Hence the pressure is

Since atmospheric pressure is 1.013 bar, this pressure is 20 times atmospheric pressure.

The weight of a car is equally supported by its four tires. The gauge

pressure of the air in the tires is 2.0 bar and each tire has an area of 140 cm 2 in contact with the ground. What is the mass of the car?
The load on each tire consists of one-quarter of the cars weight plus the weight of the column of air directly above the area of the tire in contact with the ground, since this part of the tire has no air under it to provide an equal upward force. Therefore, only the gauge pressure of the air in the tires, which is the excess over atmospheric pressure, acts to support the cars weight. Since p gauge = 2.0 bar = 2.0 10 5 Pa, each tire supports a weight of

The weight of the entire car is 4w and its mass is

The flat roof of a house is 30 ft long and 25 ft wide and

weighs 15,000 lb. Before a severe storm the doors and windows of the house are closed so tightly that the air pressure inside remains at a normal 14.7 lb/in. 2even when the outside pressure falls to 14.3 lb/in. 2. Compare the upward force on the roof with its weight.

Electrical Engineering Department

26

Solution (3)
The area of the roof is A = (30 ft)(25 ft) = 750 ft 2. The

difference between the pressure on the inside and outside of the roof is p = (14.7 14.3) ft/in. 2 = 0.4 lb/in. 2. Because the pressure on the inside of the roof is greater, the net force on it is upward with the magnitude

This is nearly three times the roofs weight. If the roof is not securely attached to the walls of the house and if the windows do not break first, the roof will be lifted off during the storm. Evidently a building should not be sealed when a large drop in pressure due to a storm is forecast.

Pressure Due to Weight of a Liquid


Since the volume element is at rest, the horizontal forces exerted upon this by the surrounding liquid must have a zero resultant. In vertical direction there must be a difference in the forces exerted on the top and bottom faces. If the pressure at the level of the top face is Pa and the pressure at the level of the bottom face is Pb, the downward force exerted on the top face of the volume element by the surrounding liquid is PaA, while the upward force exerted against the bottom face is PbA. The difference between these forces must be equal to the weight of the liquid contained within the element of height h.

Pressure Due to Weight of a Liquid


Thus we have
And by dividing by A,

Thus the pressure difference

between two adjacent level surfaces in the liquid is given by hpg, where h represents the vertical distance between the two surfaces.
07/05/2012 Electrical Engineering Department 29

Pressure is a useful quantity where fluids (gases and liquids) are concerned because of the following properties of fluids: 1. The forces that a fluid exerts on the walls of its container, and those that the walls exert on the fluid, always act perpendicular to the walls. 2. The force exerted by the pressure in a fluid is the same in all directions at a given depth. 3. An external pressure exerted on a fluid is transmitted uniformly throughout the fluid. This does not mean that pressures in a fluid are the same everywhere, because the weight of the fluid itself exerts pressures that increase with increasing depth. The pressure at a depth h in a fluid of density d due to the weight of fluid above is Hence the total pressure at that depth is When a body of fluid is in an open container, the atmosphere exerts an external pressure on it.
07/05/2012 Electrical Engineering Department 30

Pressure Due to Weight of a Liquid


The additional hydrostatic pressure exerted on the submerged object is often referred to as the gauge pressure. The total pressure on the surface of the object would be the combination of atmospheric pressure plus this hydrostatic pressure.

Total pressure=gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure

Pressure Due to Weight of a Liquid


Thus the pressure at all points at a given depth beneath the surface of a liquid depends upon the depth but not upon the shape of the container; all points at the same horizontal level surface within a body of liquid are at the same pressure, as long as the liquid is at rest.

seawater is maintained at sea-level atmospheric pressure. Find the force acting on a window 20 cm square. The density of seawater is 1.03 10 3 kg/m 3. The pressure outside the submarine is p = p atm + dgh, and the pressure inside is p atm. Hence the net pressure p acting on the window is

Since the area of the window is A = (0.2m)(0.2m) = 0.04 m 2, the force acting on it is

A little history In the first century BC, the Roman architect Vitruvius related a story of how Archimedes, the Greek scientist, discovered that a goldsmith had tried to cheat King Hiero II The king had given the goldsmith a particular amount of gold to melt down and make into a crown. When the crown was made and returned to the king, the king was suspicious that the goldsmith had stolen some of the gold and replaced it with an equal weight of silver. The king turned to Archimedes for help

In Vitruviuss own words:


"[Archimedes] happened to go to the bath, and on getting into a tub observed that the more his body sank into it the more water ran out over the tub. As this pointed out the way to explain the case in question, he jumped out of the tub and rushed home naked, crying with a loud voice that he had found what he was seeking; for he, as he ran, shouted repeatedly in Greek, Eureka, Eureka. meaning I have found (it), I have found (it).
07/05/2012 Electrical Engineering Department 63

So, what, exactly, had he found? He realized that if the bath were completely filled in the beginning, the volume of water that would overflow (that was displaced) would have to equal the volume of the person or object placed into the water!! He now had a way to measure the volume of the irregularly-shaped crown He discovered that the crown displaced more water than a chunk of gold of equal weight did. Its volume was greater because it contained some silver, a metal less dense than gold!!

Gases are similar to liquids in that they flow; hence both are called fluids. The primary difference between gases and liquids is the distance between molecules. In a liquid , the molecules are close together, where they continually experience forces from the surrounding molecules. These forces strongly affect the motion of the molecules. In a gas, the molecules are far apart, allowing them to move freely between collisions. When two molecules in a gas collide, if one gains speed in the collisions, the other loses speed, such that their kinetic energy is unchanged.

Atmospheric Pressure The atmosphere is a layer of air surrounding the earth; its thickness has been estimated as about 500 to 600 mi. The density of the air decreases with increasing altitude. Since air has weight, this layer of air produces a pressure, called the atmospheric pressure, at the surface of the earth. The atmospheric pressure varies from day to day by about 5 per cent, the variations often accompanying changes in the weather. The pressure of the air is measured by a barometer, which often consists of an evacuated tube inverted in a dish of mercury, as shown in Figure.
07/05/2012 Electrical Engineering Department

Mercury Barometer

85

Barometers
The atmosphere exerts a pressure P on the open surface of the mercury in the dish, and this is transmitted to the liquid in the tube. This pressure is balanced by the pressure due to the mercury in the tube at a height h above the open surface of the dish. Recall that the pressure is always the same at any level surface in a liquid. Outside the barometer tube the pressure at this surface is entirely due to the atmosphere, so that the pressure of the mercury here is atmospheric pressure. Hence the pressure of the mercury within the tube at the level of the surface of the mercury in the dish is also atmospheric pressure. Knowing the density of mercury and the height to which the column of mercury rises within the evacuated barometer tube.

Absolute Pressure The absolute pressure - pabs - is measured relative to the absolute zero pressure the pressure that would occur at absolute vacuum. All calculation involving the gas laws requires pressure (and temperature) to be in absolute units. Gauge Pressure A gauge is often used to measure the pressure difference between a system and the surrounding atmosphere. Atmospheric Pressure Atmospheric pressure is pressure in the surrounding air at - or "close" to - the surface of the earth. The atmospheric pressure vary with temperature and altitude above sea level.

Fluid Flow
In streamline flow, the motion of a particle after it passes a particular point is the same as the motion of the particle that preceded it at that point. The path that a particle takes is called a stream line. Every particle that passes any particular point will follow the stream line that goes through that point. A bundle of stream lines, like the ones here, is known as a stream tube. Fluid never crosses the surface of a stream tube.

Fluid Flow
Turbulent flow is illustrated here-flow through a small constriction in a pipe and flow around an airplane wing which is inclined at a steep angle. In turbulent flow, the motion of a particle after it passes a particular point may be quite different from the motion of the particle that preceded it at that point. Turbulent flow is characterized by randomness or irreproducibility of the motion of individual particles. It usually occurs in fluids moving at high speeds. As you might expect, friction is far greater in turbulent flow. We will concentrate most of our attention on streamline flow.

VISCOSITY
The resistance to flow of a fluid and the resistance to the movement of an object through a fluid are usually stated in terms of the viscosity of the fluid. Experimentally, under conditions of laminar flow, the force required to move a plate at constant speed against the resistance of a fluid is proportional to the area of the plate and to the velocity gradient perpendicular to the plate. The constant of proportionality is called the viscosity

The flow resistance of a tube is defined from the relationship

where the script F is the volume flowrate through the tube. This volume flowrate can also be expressed by

The rate of flow of a liquid through a pipe obeys Poiseuilles law

where L is the length of the pipe, r is its radius, p is the pressure difference between the ends of the pipe, and is the viscosity of the liquid. Evidently the rate of flow depends most strongly on the radius of the pipe.

Surface Tension
The surface tension of water provides the necessary wall tension for the formation of bubbles with water. The tendency to minimize that wall and of liquid droplets. tension pulls the bubbles into spherical shapes (LaPlace's law).

The pressure difference between the inside and outside of a

bubble depends upon the surface tension and the radius of the bubble. The relationship can be obtained by visualizing the bubble as two hemispheres and noting that the internal pressure which tends to push the hemispheres apart is counteracted by the surface tension acting around the circumference of the circle. For a bubble with two surfaces providing tension tension, the pressure relationship is:

Capillary Action
Capillary action is the result of adhesion and surface tension. Adhesion of water to the walls of a vessel will cause an upward force on the liquid at the edges and result in a meniscus which turns upward. The surface tension acts to hold the surface intact, so instead of just the edges moving upward, the whole liquid surface is dragged upward.

Capillary action occurs when the adhesion to the walls is stronger than the cohesive forces between the liquid molecules. The height to which capillary action will take water in a uniform circular tube is limited by surface tension. Acting around the circumference, the upward force is

The height h to which capillary action will lift water depends upon the weight of water which the surface tension will lift:

The height to which the liquid can be lifted is given by

Cohesion is the tendency of certain similar particles to cling together due to attractive forces. While adhesion is the tendency of certain dissimilar particles to cling together due to attractive forces.

The water surface is curving upward and it wets the tube wall because the attractive force among the waters particles is smaller than the attractive force between the waters particles and the tube wall (cohesion is smaller than adhesion) On the other hand, the mercurys surface is curving downward and does not wets the tube wall because the attractive force among the mercurys particles is greater than the attractive force between the mercurys particles and the tube wall (cohesion is greater than adhesion).

Equation of Continuity

Volume Flow Rate:

It is common for R to be expressed in such units as gallons per minute and liters per second instead of the proper units of cubic feet per second and cubic meters per second (1 U.S. gal = 0.134 ft 3 and 1 L = 10 3 m 3 = 10 3cm 3).

Bernoulli's Equation
From the Equation of Continuity,

we know that the fluid must be moving slower at position 1 where the cross section A1 is larger and it must be moving faster at position 2 where cross section A2 is smaller. That is, the fluid must accelerate as is moves from position 1 to position 2. That means the pressure on the fluid at position 1 must be greater than the pressure at position 2 in order to provide a net force to cause this acceleration.

Bernoulli's Equation
This is an example of Bernoulli's Principle that the pressure exerted by a moving fluid is greater where the speed of the fluid is smaller and the pressure is smaller where the speed of the fluid is greater. Now consider fluid that flows -- along a stream tube -- with a change in cross sectional area and a change in height. Work must be done on the fluid to change its kinetic energy and its potential energy.

Bernoulli Equation
The Bernoulli Equation can be considered to be a statement of the conservation of energy principle appropriate for flowing fluids. The qualitative behavior that is usually labeled with the term "Bernoulli effect" is the lowering of fluid pressure in regions where the flow velocity is increased. This lowering of pressure in a constriction of a flow path may seem counterintuitive, but seems less so when you consider pressure to be energy density. In the high velocity flow through the constriction, kinetic energy must increase at the expense of pressure energy.

where p is the absolute pressure, h is the height above an arbitrary reference level, and v is the fluid velocity. Thus at the two locations 1 and 2

Torricellis Theorem
Torricelli's Theorem is Bernoulli's equation with certain assumption made. This deals with the set up where you have a large tank with a narrow opening allowing for the the liquid to flow out. Both the Tank and the the narrow opening (nozzle) are open to the atmosphere. The fluid velocity of the tank (water level) is very much slower than the fluid velocity of the nozzle.
