Fluids
 Another parameter
 Pressure (force per unit area)
P=F/A
SI unit for pressure is 1 Pascal = 1 N/m2
 The atmospheric pressure at sea-level is
1 atm = 1.013 x105 Pa
= 1013 mbar
= 760 Torr
= 14.7 lb/ in2 (=PSI)
Physics 207: Lecture 21, Pg 2

 What is the pressure at the bottom of the
container?

What is the pressure 10m down?
P=P0+ρgy
=P0+(1000 kg/m3)(10 m/s2) (10 m)
=P0+105 N/m2

Pressure vs. Depth

In a connected liquid, the pressure is the same at
all points through a horizontal line.

Pressure Measurements: Barometer
 Invented by Torricelli
 A long closed tube is filled with mercury
and inverted in a dish of mercury
 The closed end is nearly a vacuum
P0=ρgh
 Measures atmospheric pressure as
1 atm = 0.760 m (of Hg)
Physics 207: Lecture 21, Pg 9
Archimedes’ Principle
 Suppose we weigh an object in air (1) and
in water (2).

W2?
How do these weights compare?
a) W1 < W2
b) W1 = W2
c) W1 > W2

object
Physics 207: Lecture 21, Pg 11
Float or sink?

If we immerse the object completely in the liquid:
weight of the object < bouyant force
float
ρobject Vobject< ρfluid Vobject
float
ρobject < ρfluid
float

How does a steel ship float?
A)ρsteel < ρwater
B)overall density of the ship < ρwater
C) none of the above
Physics 207: Lecture 21, Pg 12
Float

If the object floats, then we can find the portion of the
object that will be immersed in the fluid
FB=mg
Vimmersed ρfluid g =Vobject ρobject g
FB
Vimmersed ρfluid =Vobject ρobject

Pascal’s Principle
Any change in the pressure applied to an enclosed
fluid is transmitted to every portion of the fluid and to
the walls of the containing vessel.
Pressure=P0

Pascal’s Principle in action:
Hydraulics, a force amplifier
F1
 Consider the system shown:
F2
 A downward force F1 is applied
to the piston of area A1.
 This force is transmitted through
the liquid to create an upward
force F2.
 Pascal’s Principle says that
increased pressure from F1
(F1/A1) is transmitted
throughout the liquid.

Fluid dynamics
 To describe fluid motion, we need something that describes
flow:
 Velocity v
 Ideal fluid model:
 Incompressible fluid.
 No viscosity (no friction).
 Steady flow

Streamlines
 Keep track of a small portion of the fluid:
