What are the conditions for the fluid at rest in the container?
What are the conditions for the fluid at rest in the container?
Resultant horizontal forces should be zero and the resultant vertical forces should balance the weight of the element.
What is the relationship between the pressures P1 and P2 at two different points in the fluid?
What is the relationship between the pressures P1 and P2 at two different points in the fluid?
The difference in pressure (P2 - P1) multiplied by the base area (A) equals the weight of the fluid in the cylindrical element (mg).
How is the weight of the fluid in the cylinder related to the mass density (ρ) and volume (V) of the fluid?
How is the weight of the fluid in the cylinder related to the mass density (ρ) and volume (V) of the fluid?
The weight (m) of the fluid is equal to the product of mass density (ρ) and volume (V), where V = hA.
Express the relationship between pressure difference (P2 - P1) and the gravitational constant (g) in terms of mass density (ρ) and height (h) of the fluid.
