The BIG Idea

76. Lesson 1: Pressure and Density of Fluids
Pressure is the ratio of force to area.
Atmospheric pressure decreases with elevation. Pressure under water increases with depth.
The density of a fluid depends on the mass of the fluid and its volume.
Key Concepts 1

77. Lesson 2: The Buoyant Force
The change in pressure between the top and the bottom of an object results in an upward force called the buoyant force.
Archimedes’ principle states that the weight of the fluid displaced by an object is equal to the buoyant force on that object.
An object sinks if its weight is greater than the buoyant force on it. An object does not sink if the buoyant force on it is equal to its weight.
Key Concepts 2

78. Lesson 3: Other Forces from Fluids
Pascal’s principle states that when pressure is applied to a fluid in a closed container, the pressure increases by the same amount everywhere in the container.
Bernoulli’s principle states that when the speed in a fluid increases, the pressure decreases.
Speed, size, and shape of an object, as well as the density of the fluid in which the object moves, affect the drag force on that object.
