2. Archimedes’ principle
The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced.

3. i.e.1: Weather balloon
A 600-kg weather balloon is designed to lift a 4,000-kg package.
What volume should the balloon have after being inflated with helium in order for the total load to be lifted?
(The density of helium and air are, respectively, He= .179 kg/m3 , Air= 1.28 kg/m3 at standard temperature and pressure)

4. Quiz Question 1
Imagine holding two bricks under water. Brick A is just beneath the surface of the water, while Brick B is at a greater depth.
The force needed to hold Brick B in place is
larger than
the same as
smaller than
the force required to hold Brick A in place.

5. i.e.2: Ice cube
How much of the ice cube’s mass is below the surface of the water?
(The density of liquid and solid water are, respectively, H20= 1,000 kg/m3 and ice= 917 kg/m3.) d L

6. Quiz Question 2

100
900
980
1000
1100

7. Fluid dynamics Ideal-fluid model Incompressible ( = constant)
Nonviscous (water, not syrup)
Laminar flow (no turbulence )

8. Questions… Imagine the block in an ideal fluid…
How does P1 compare with P2 ?

9. Fluids dynamics… Consider fluid flowing down a cylindrical pipe…
What is the “Flow Rate”? x A

10. Equation of Continuity
(Volume/time)in = (Volume/time)out A1 A2 v1 v2

11. Quiz Question 3
A blood platelet drifts along with the flow of blood through an artery that is partially blocked by a stenosis. As the platelet is moving through the stenotic region, its speed (in the stenotic region) is:
increased
decreased
unchanged

12. Bernoulli’s Equation Conservation of energy yields: velocity elevation
pressure

13. Quiz Question 4
A blood platelet drifts along with the flow of blood through an artery that is partially blocked by a stenosis. As the platelet is moving through the stenotic region, the pressure (in the stenotic region) is:
larger than
smaller than
the same as
the non-stenotic region. v

14. Quiz Question 5
An ideal fluid is pumped steadily up a vertical pipe with a uniform cross-section. The difference in pressure between a point at the top and at the bottom:
is the same as it would be if the fluid were motionless.
is greater at higher flow rates than at lower flow rates.
is less at higher flow rates than at lower flow rates.
does not depend on the density of the fluid.
is zero.

15. Venturi Tubes
Venturi tubes measure gas speeds in environments as different as chemistry laboratories, wind tunnels, and jet engines.
The gas-flow speed can be determined from the liquid height h.

16. Venturi Tubes
