Day 62, Tuesday, 1 December, 2015 Fluid Mechanics Fluids Pressure Pascal’s Principle Archimedes's Principle Pressure at depth
2
Fluids
3
No shape of their own Pressure Pascal's Principle Archimedes's principle Pressure at depth
4
Fluids Fluids have no shape of their own Liquids have no shape but definite volume Gases have no shape and variable volume
5
Density D = M/V ρ = m/vρ (rho) ≡ density
6
Pressure P = F/A Perpendicular to surface
9
Pascal's Principle Blaise Pascal 1623 – 1662, French physician Pressure is transmitted undiminished through a fluid. Shape has no effect. Pressure is transmitted equally to every point in the fluid and to the walls of the container.
10
Pressure depends on the depth, not on the shape
11
Hydraulic Press
12
Archimede's principle Archimedes – Greek scientist 212 B.C. F b = ρVg Density of a fluid is rho or ρ The magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
14
Pressure at depth P = F/A = mg/A d =m/v => m = dv P = dvg/A v =Ah P = dAhg/A P = dhg d = ρ P = ρgh
15
Summary P = F/A Pascal’s principle: Pressure is transmitted undiminished through a fluid. (shape has no effect) Archimedes's principle: Buoyant force = weight of displaced fluid Pressure at depth: P = ρgh
