Study Notes
Matter Phases
- Matter exists in three main phases: solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solids are hard with a defined shape and resist deformation.
- Liquids flow and take the shape of their container.
- Gases also flow and expand to fill the entire volume of their container.
- Viscosity is a property of fluids where layers of fluid resist movement against each other.
Fluid Types
- An ideal fluid has specific properties.
Pressure
- Pressure is defined as force per unit area (P = F/A).
- The pressure at a point in a fluid is the same in all directions.
Manometer
- A manometer is a device used to measure pressure.
- A U-tube manometer, filled with a high-density liquid like mercury, is used when pressure is high.
Pascal's Principle
- Pascal's principle states that pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every point in the fluid.
- This is represented by the equation: P = F2 / F1 = A2 / A1 = ∆x1 /∆x2
- The work done by the force on its respective piston: F1∆x1 = F2∆x2.
