Fluids
  • What do we mean by fluids?
  • Fluids are substances that flow. substances
    that take the shape of the container
  • Atoms and molecules must be free to move .. No
    long range correlation between positions (e.g.,
    not a crystal).
  • Gas or liquid, not solid
  • What parameters do we use to describe fluids?
    (here are a couple)
  • Density kg/m3 ? mass/volume
  • FYI rWATER 1 g/cm3
  • Pressure N/m2 ? force/area
  • or Pascals (Pa) name for same thing

density
pressure
  • For a given material, r and P connected by Bulk
    Modulus, B
  • If you squeeze on it, how much (by what fraction)
    does it compress. (Property of the material)
    (units same as pressure ? Force/Area)
  • LIQUID (nearly) incompressible, large B
    (density almost constant)
  • GAS compressible, small B (density depends a
    lot on pressure)

Why such a wide range?

Pressure vs. DepthIncompressible Fluids
(liquids)
  • Due to gravity, the pressure depends on depth in
    a fluid
  • Consider an imaginary fluid volume (a cube, each
    face having area A)
  • The sum of all the forces on this volume must be
    ZERO as it is in equilibrium.
  • There are three vertical forces
  • The weight (mg)
  • The upward force from the pressure on the bottom
    surface (F2)
  • The downward force from the pressure on the top
    surface (F1)

(Same fluid)
5
Pressure vs. Depth (2)
  • For a fluid in an open container
  • pressure same at a given depth independent of the
    container
  • fluid level is the same everywhere in a connected
    container (assuming no surface forces)
  • Why is this so? Why, in equilibrium, does the
    pressure below the surface depend only on depth?
  • Imagine a tube that would connect two regions
    at the same depth.
  • If the pressures were different, fluid would flow
    in the tube!
  • However, if fluid did flow, then the system was
    NOT in equilibrium, since no equilibrium system
    will spontaneously leave equilibrium.

6
Lecture 28, ACT 1
  • What happens with two different fluids??
    Consider a U tube containing liquids of density
    r1 and r2 as shown
  • Compare the densities of the liquids
  • If we use the same liquids in a U tube of twice
    the cross-sectional area as the first, compare
    the distances between the levels in the two cases
    (depth of liquid 2 same in both cases).

7
Lecture 12, ACT 1
  • At the depth of the interface, the pressures
  • in each side must be equal.
  • Since theres more liquid above this depth on
    the
  • left side, that liquid must be less dense!

C) r1 gt r2
  • The pressure depends ONLY on the depth and the
    density of the fluid.
  • e.g. consider case I

Archimedes Principle
  • Suppose we weigh an object in air and in water.
  • Since the pressure at the bottom of the object is
    greater than that at the top of the object, the
    water exerts a net upward force, the buoyant
    force, on the object.
  • The buoyant force is equal to the difference in
    the pressures times the area.

Archimedes Principle

  • Total force is sum of FB and gravity.

displaced volume

10
Sink or Float?
Objects in water
  • The buoyant force is equal to the weight of
    the liquid that is displaced.
  • If the buoyant force of a fully submerged object
    is larger than the weight of the object, it will
    float otherwise it will sink.
  • We can calculate how much of a floating object
    will be submerged in the liquid
  • Object is in equilibrium

11
Sink of Float?
Object is in equilibrium
The Tip of The Iceberg What fraction of an
iceberg is submerged?
12
Lecture 28, ACT 2
  • A lead weight is fastened to a large styrofoam
    block and the combination floats on water with
    the water level with the top of the styrofoam
    block as shown.
  • If you turn the styrofoamPb upside down, what
    happens?

13
Lecture 28, ACT 2
  • If the object floats right-side up, then it also
    must float upside-down.
  • It displaces the same amount of water in both
    cases
  • The weight of that water equals the total weight
    of the whole object
  • However, when it is upside-down, the Pb displaces
    some water.
  • Therefore the styrofoam must displace less water
    than it did when it was right-side up (when the
    Pb displaced no water).

14
At what depth is the water pressure two
atmospheres? (It is one atmosphere at the
surface.) What is the pressure at the bottom of
the deepest oceanic trench (about 104 meters)?
Example Problems
Solution
d is the depth. The pressure increases one
atmosphere for every 10 meters. This assumes
that water is incompressible.
P2 P1 rgd 2.02?105 Pa 1.01?105 Pa
103 kg/m39.8m/s2d d 10.3
m P2 1.01?105 Pa 103 kg/m39.8m/s2104 m
9.81?107 Pa 971 Atm
For d 104 m
If water were compressible, would the pressure at
the bottom of the ocean be greater or smaller
than the result of this calculation?
15
Example Problems (2)
Have you ever tried to submerge a beach ball (r
50 cm) in a swimming pool? Its difficult. How
big a downward force must you exert to get it
completely underwater?
Solution
F rg4pr3/3 5131 N 523 kgg
Im ignoring the weight of the beach ball. The
force is the weight of a 523 kg object.
16
More Fun With Bouyancy
  • Two cups are filled to the same level with water.
    One of the two cups has plastic balls floating
    in it. Which cup weighs more?
  • Archimedes principle tells us that the cups weigh
    the same.
  • Each plastic ball displaces an amount of water
    that is exactly equal to its own weight.

17
Still More Fun!
  • A plastic ball floats in a cup of water with half
    of its volume submerged. Oil (roil lt rball
    ltrwater) is slowly added to the container until
    it just covers the ball.
  • Relative to the water level, the ball moves up.
    Why?
  • For oil to cover the ball, the ball must have
    displaced some oil.
  • Therefore, the buoyant force on the ball
    increases.
  • Therefore, the ball moves up (relative to the
    water).
  • Note that we assume the bouyant force of the air
    on the ball is negligible (it is!) the bouyant
    force of the oil is not.

18
Pascals Principle
  • So far we have discovered (using Newtons Laws)
  • Pressure depends on depth Dp rgDy
  • Since pressure depends on depth, an object in a
    liquid experiences an upward buoyant force FB
    Wliquid displaced
  • Pascals Principle addresses how a change in
    pressure is transmitted through a fluid.

19
Pascals Principle
Hydraulic jack
  • Pascals Principle is most often applied to
    incompressible fluids (liquids)
  • Increasing p at any depth (including the surface)
    gives the same increase in p at any other depth

? Hydraulic lifts
20
Pascals Principle (2)
  • Consider the system shown
  • 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.
  • Pascals Principle says that increased pressure
    from F1 DP(F1/A1) is transmitted throughout
    the liquid.

Check that Fd is the same on both
sides. Displaced volumes are the same, so
Works like a lever
energy conserved
21
Lecture 28, ACT 3
  • Consider the systems shown to the right.
  • In each case, a block of mass M is placed on the
    piston of the large cylinder, resulting in a
    difference di between the liquid levels.
  • If A2 2A1, compare dA and dB.

A) dA (1/2)dB
22
Lecture 28, ACT 3Solution
  • The change in pressure DP (Mg/A10) is
    transmitted to the small cylinder in both cases.
  • The pressure at the level of the top of the fluid
    in the big cylinder must equal the pressure at
    the same absolute height (right across) in the
    smaller cylinders (depends on height)
  • This change in pressure determines the change in
    levels.
  • DP (rA1dAg/A1) (rA2dBg/A2)
  • The area of the small cylinders cancels in these
    formulae
  • DP (rdAg) (rdBg) (Mg/A10)

23
Using Fluids to Measure Pressure
  • Use Barometer to measure Absolute Pressure
  • Top of tube evacuated (p0)
  • Bottom of tube submerged into pool of mercury
    open to atmosphere (pp0)
  • Pressure dependence on depth
  • Use Manometer to measure Gauge Pressure
  • Measure pressure of volume (p1) relative to the
    atmospheric pressure (º gauge pressure )
  • The height difference (Dh) measures the gauge
    pressure
