What to Focus On

  • Pressure P = F/A with SI unit pascal (Pa)
  • Pascal's law: Pressure in enclosed fluid transmits equally in all directions
  • Hydrostatic pressure: P = P₀ + ρgh

  • Buoyant force Fb = Weight of displaced fluid = ViρLg
  • For floating: Buoyant force = Weight of object
  • Object floats if ρobject < ρfluid

  • Streamlines show fluid particle paths in steady flow
  • Laminar flow: smooth layers without mixing
  • Turbulent flow: irregular motion above critical velocity

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pressure at a point in a fluid depends on the shape and size of the container

In Bernoulli's equation, higher velocity always means lower pressure

Buoyant force depends on the weight or density of the object
