Fluids Flashcards
Force acting perpendicular to the surface is called
Thrust
The force or unit area acting on an object called
Pressure=
Thrust/area of contact
Si unit of thrust N
Si Unit of pressure. Pascal or
Pressure unit N/m^2
Pressure exerted by a liquid at a point is determined by
Depth
density of liquid
acceleration due to gravity
Pressure due to a liquid colum
¶hg
Mass of the liquid
Volume of liquid × density
¶v
The instrument used to measure atmospheric pressure is called
Barometer
The Mercury barometer first designed by an Italian physicist
Torricelli
On your typical day at sea level the height of Mercury column is
760 mm
76 cm
1atm=
1bar
1atm=1.01310^5 pa
1bar= 110^5pa
1atm=1.013 bar
On which one metre square of surface the force acting is
1.013 kN
1 absolute pressure is zero reference against
2 Gauge pressure is zero reference against
1 Perfect vacuum
2 atmospheric pressure
In petrol bunks the tyre pressure of vehicle is measured in a unit called
Pascal per inch ( psi)
The law state that external pressure applied on a in compressible liquid is transmitted uniformly throughout the liquid
Pascal’s law
Blaise Pascal
French
1623-1662
Pascal’s law became the basis for one of the important machines ever developed
Hydraulic press
The hydraulic system working in this way are known as
Force Multiplier
The SI unit of density is
Kilogram per metre cube
The density of substances is
Mass/volume of substances
Generally density of substance is compare with the density of water at 4 degree Celsius because density of water at this temperature is
1g/cm^3
