Study Notes
Fluids Part I
- Fluids are substances that flow, taking the shape of their container.
- Fluids include liquids and gases.
- Gases are compressible, meaning their volume can change easily.
- Liquids are incompressible, their volume remains relatively constant.
- Mass density is the ratio of mass to volume (ρ = m/V).
- SI units of mass density are kg/m³.
- Gases have lower densities compared to liquids and solids due to the greater spacing between gas molecules.
- Pressure in a fluid is the force exerted per unit area (P = F/A).
- The SI unit of pressure is the pascal (Pa), where 1 Pa = 1 N/m².
- The force due to fluid pressure acts on all parts of the fluid and the container walls.
- Pressure in a liquid increases with depth.
- Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at rest.
- Hydrostatic pressure equation is p = p₀ + ρgd
- Pascal's principle states that a pressure change at one point in an incompressible fluid is transmitted equally to all other points in the fluid.
Learning Objectives
- Students will be able to discuss the density of solids, liquids, and gases.
- Students will be able to explain Pascal's principle.
Problem 13.9
- A cylinder contains 25 cm of water and oil on top of the water to a total depth of 40 cm.
- The gauge pressure at the bottom of the cylinder needs to be calculated.
- Density of oil (ρ₀) = 900 kg/m³.
Check Your Understanding
- Q1: Rank the mass densities of three pieces of glass (1, 2, 3) broken from a larger piece in order from largest to smallest.
- Mass density is independent of size, and characteristic of the substance.
- Q2: Gases are compressible.
- The volume of a gas is easily changed.
- Q3: Rank pressures A, B, C, D, E, and F from largest to smallest. (Diagram required)
- Q4: Maximum depth a person could dive without rupturing their eardrum.
- Human eardrum area ≈ 70 mm²
- Maximum force the eardrum can withstand ≈ 7 N Density of water (ρwater) = 1000 kg/m³
