Study Notes
Fluid Pressure
- Hydrostatic pressure refers to the pressure exerted by a fluid at rest.
- Pascal's Principle states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container.
Pressure Measurement
- Gauge pressure is the pressure measured above the atmospheric pressure.
Pressure-Volume Relationships
- Boyle's Law describes the relationship between the pressure and volume of a bladder.
Atmospheric Pressure
- Atmospheric pressure is the pressure of the air in the environment.
Manometer Fluid Selection
- The density of the manometer fluid determines the choice of manometer fluid to measure pressure.
