1. Fluids: Floating & Flying
(Chapter 3)

2. Student Leaning Objectives
Distinguish between force and pressure
Recall factors that allow floating
Differentiate between cohesion and adhesion
Analyze Pascal’s principle and Bernoulli’s principle.

3. How is pressure different from force?
Pressure is determined from how the force is distributed.
P = F A

4. Practice
These Practice Problems are presented in class

5. What determines the amount of pressure in a fluid?
In a fluid, pressure is exerted in all directions.
Fluid pressure depends on density and depth.
Same Depth = Same Pressure
P = Dgh

6. Practice These Practice Problems are presented in class
The normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atmosphere.
The pressure in water (pure or sea) increases by about 1 atm for every 10 m of depth.
1 atm = 14.7 lbs/in2 = x 105 N/m2
Practice
These Practice Problems are presented in class

7. What factors allow floating?
Relative density allows objects or substances to float.
Density is the amount of mass contained in a standard volume.
Density measures how compact the material is.
Example: Golf Ball vs Ping Pong Ball
D = m V

8. These Practice Problems are presented in class
Air
D = g/cm3
Water
D = 1 g/cm3
Sea Water
D = g/cm3
Steal
D = 7.85 g/cm3
Lead
D = g/cm3
Gold
D = 19.3 g/cm3
These Practice Problems are presented in class

9. Weight of Floating Object = Weight of Fluid Displaced
Displacement of water allows objects float. (Archimedes Principle)
The buoyancy force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
The real story behind Archimedes’ Eureka!
FB = Wfluid
Weight of Floating Object = Weight of Fluid Displaced

10. The upward buoyancy force is a result of the net upward pressure from the fluid.
500,000 Ton Ship =
500,000 Tons Water Displaced
Largest Pressure vector from greatest depth
Pressures are balanced when a steel ship floats in water.
Pwater = Pboat

11. Practice

12. Practice
These Practice Problems are presented in class

13. Example: Overfull glass of water
Surface tension allows objects to “float” on top of a fluid.
Polar molecules
Electrical Attractions
Cohesion is the attraction between like molecules in a fluid. (water and water)
Adhesion is an attraction between unlike molecules. (water and glass)
Cohesive forces are strongest at the surface (surface tension).
How polarity makes water behave strangely
Example: Overfull glass of water

14. How are Pascal’s principle and Bernoulli’s principle used?
Pascal’s Principle: A change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid is exerted on all other parts of the fluid.
A force on an enclosed fluid is distributed throughout the fluid.
Examples:
Closed water bottle
Hydraulic lifts & Pistons

15. small force on small area = Large Force on Large Area
The pressure is equal on both sides of a piston; however, the Force and Area are different.
small force on small area = Large Force on Large Area
Application of Pascals Law

16. Examples: Trucks, Trains, & Airplanes
Bernoulli’s Principle: As the velocity of the fluid increases, the pressure within the fluid decreases.
There is a change in pressure when a fluid flows, or an object moves through the fluid. (excludes barriers)
Coanda Beach Ball
Examples: Trucks, Trains, & Airplanes
