Topics in Mechanical Properties of Fluids
1
9.2 Pressure and Pascal's Law
- Pressure is the normal force exerted by a fluid per unit area: P = F/A
- Pascal's Law: Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions
- Hydrostatic pressure increases with depth: P = P₀ + ρgh
2
9.2 Archimedes' Principle and Buoyancy
- Buoyant force equals the weight of displaced fluid: Fᵦ = ρₗVᵢg
- For floating objects: Weight = Buoyant force (equilibrium condition)
- Centre of buoyancy is the center of mass of displaced fluid
3
9.3 Streamline Flow and Equation of Continuity
- Streamline flow: fluid particles follow definite paths called streamlines
- Laminar flow: smooth layers of fluid with no mixing
- Turbulent flow: irregular, chaotic motion above critical velocity
4
9.4 Bernoulli's Principle and Applications
- Bernoulli's equation: P + ½ρv² + ρgh = constant
- Energy conservation: pressure energy + kinetic energy + potential energy = constant
- Higher velocity regions have lower pressure (venturi effect)
