Basic Applications Where we have been: motion of rigid, non-rotating systems frameworks motion of rigid, rotating systems Where we are going: motion of non-rigid, non-rotating systems motion of oscillatory systems waves emergent properties of many-body systems
Lab 5 Always record uncertainty and units Never say “human error” Write clearly Be quantitative: avoid “not very accurate,” “really close” Show/explain work/calculations Use full sentences Attach separate pages to ensure you have a full report, i.e. discussion of error, diagram, further questions, difficult procedures, etc. In other classes lab write-ups are more precise
Fluid Statics What is a fluid? What type of densities are there? What is the definition of density? How do you calculate the pressure under my feet?pressure FBD for a block of fluid Calculus Atmosphere Force on pool wall A U-tube What is the physical basis for Pascal’s Principle? How can we describe it in terms of work? Ch12
Buoyancy State Archimedes’ Principle in your own words. Which has a larger buoyant force: a submerged bowling ball or a submerged soccer ball of the same size? A boat sits in water. What determines how high it sits? Will a boat sit higher in the oceanocean or a freshwater lake? Ch12
Problems When a large ice cube melts in a glass of water will the water level rise or fall? If a boat in a sealed channel were to dump a load of iron into the channel would the water level rise or fall? Does the load of the bridge (below) increase or decrease as a barge passes over it? Ch12
Fluid Dynamics How does conservation of mass apply in a fluid? How does conservation of energy apply in a fluid? What is laminar flow? What is turbulence and viscosity? Examples? Demos? A U-tube A Venturi tube Ch12
