Liquids and Gases The unit of volume is
the meter cubed , m3, which is a very large volume. Very often we use cm3 = cc. Other everyday units are gallons, quarts, pints As we know liquids and gases act very differently than solids. Liquids and gases have mass but their constituent atoms are not bound so that each part of the liquid or gas can move. The atoms of a liquid are more tightly bound so a liquid can be kept in an open container whereas gas usually requires a closed container. Liquids, like solids are not very compressible, that is, it is difficult to change the volume. A volume of gas can have it’s volume changed fairly easily. Both have the property of being able to flow, for example water and gas lines in a house. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Pressure A volume of liquid or gas has mass and F = ma is still a good law except a force at a point on the surface of water only moves the water near that point So generally we work with liquids and gases in containers and exert forces over a surface. We define pressure as P = F/A that is the force divided by the area over which the force acts. Any change in pressure is transmitted uniformly throughout the liquid. Units are N/m2 and 1 N/m2 = 1Pascal 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Hydraulic Jack If the liquid levels on each side are the same height
then the pressure just below each piston is the same and F1/A1 = F2/A2 so F2 = F1A2/A1 If we make A2/A1 = 100 then an F1 force of 50lbs can lift 5000lbs. Of course if we push F1 down a distance h1 then the F2 Side will only rise h1 A1/A2 because h1A1 = h2A2, that is the displaced volumes must be the same. Work done = F1h1 = F2h2 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Atmospheric pressure If I stack a pile of bricks each brick has to support all the bricks above it. So as we go down the stack the force increases as does the pressure. In the example shown the force on the face of the bottom brick would be 6mg and the pressure = 6mg/A. At the earths surface we are supporting a column of air which exerts a force and because it is a gas it exerts an equal pressure In all directions. g F 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2A-01 Suction Cups How does a suction cup work ? How does a suction cup ‘hold on’ to objects? PA Holding the suction cup by itself I only have to support the weight since the force due to atmospheric pressure acts on the top and bottom of the cup. If I place it on a surface and exclude all the air the cup is held to the surface by a force due to atmospheric pressure of 1.013x105 Pascals per square meter F = PAA PA F If two cups are pushed together, does this make it twice as difficult to separate ? Remember atmospheric pressure can support 32 feet of water so the force on 1 square foot is ~ 2000 lbs! 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Otto von Guericke 1602 - 1686 was the “inventor” of the nothing we now call a vacuum.
Von Guericke created a vacuum by attaching two hemispheres and then evacuating the air from the resultant sphere. Von Guericke demonstrated the force of the vacuum before the German emperor Ferdinand III by having two teams of horses attempt to disengage the hemispheres. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2D-01 Hydraulic Press Is it possible to crush a 2x4 only with the force exerted by one hand ? Using the uniformity of pressure within a liquid as a mechanical advantage Within the Hydraulic fluid the pressure is uniform: F1/A1 = F2/A2  F1/F2 = A1/A2 Pump piston diameter = 0.5 in Lift piston diameter = 1.25 in F1= 6.25*F2 This is not enough mechanical advantage to crush the wood. How is it done? Remember, the lever arm also gives a mechanical advantage. We have: F1≈ (16)*6.25*F2 = 100*F2 Where is the water? how does the inside construction? 16 x 6.25 = 100 mainly contributed by mechanical system, i.e. lever, how to show pascal’s principal works THE INPUT FORCE IS GREATLY ENHANCED BY THE HYDRAULIC FLUID AND BY THE LEVERAGE GAINED USING THE LONG HANDLE. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2D-03 Pascal's Principle (Wine Bag)
Creating a Pressure to exert a Force Is it possible to lift a heavy object using only your breath ? P = F/A  F = PA A pressure applied over an area can generate a large force. BY CREATING A PRESSURE WITHIN A VESSEL, A PRESSURE IS EXERTED ON ALL THE WALLS OF THE VESSEL. THIS MEANS A FORCE = PA WHICH IS LARGE ENOUGH TO LIFT A PERSON 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2A-05 Pressure Force Milk Jug
Effect of atmospheric pressure on a partially evacuated milk bottle What will happen to the container if it is sealed after putting in a small amount of very hot water? The hot liquid heats the air which expands and some leaves the container. The hot liquid also causes vapor to form in the jug which then cools and condenses. Liquid takes up a much smaller volume than steam. As the steam cools and condenses a partial vacuum forms and the pressure drops. Atmospheric pressure then crushes it. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Density If one takes two objects of exactly the same volume made of different materials they have different weights. So we define a useful quantity Density ρ = mass/unit volume, kg/m3 or grams/cc so the mass of an object is ρV and the weight ρVg If an object is put into a container of liquid it will float if ρobject is less than ρliquid It will sink if ρobject is greater than ρliquid 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Density and pressure g If I take a container of liquid the pressure at any depth is the weight of the water above that depth divided by the area. It is very useful to define Mass/unit volume ρ = kg/m3. Very often we use grams/cubic centimeter 1 gram/cm3 = 1000kg/m3 Water is 1 gram/cc W = mg = ρAhg Pressure P = W/A = ρgh and the pressure is the same at all depths increasing with depth. This is the pressure increase from the surface which is also subject to atmospheric pressure 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2A-03 Vacuum Demos Effects of Vacuum on objects made largely of air or air pockets. Why do the balloons burst in the vacuum ? Do the balloons burst in vacuum differently then they normally burst ? Why do the marshmallows get bigger in vacuum ? What will happen when the marshmallows are returned to normal pressure ? Can you guess what happens when Shaving Cream is placed in vacuum ? AN AIR-POCKET/BALLOON WILL EXPAND WHEN THE PRESSURE IS REDUCED AND IT WILL DEFLATE WHEN THE PRESSURE IS INCREASED. SO BALLOONS WILL EXPAND AS THEY RISE IN THE ATMOSHPERE AND THE EXPANSION OF A PARTIALLY EVACUATED CAN IS USED IN BAROMETERS. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2B-04 Liquid Pressure g A B h
Investigating Pressure in different directions within a liquid in equilibrium. What will happen to the reading on the manometer as the sensor is rotated ? The increase in pressure ρgh is measured by the difference in height of the liquid in the U tube. PRESSURE IS NOT A VECTOR. IT ACTS EQUALLY IN ALL DIRECTIONS A B h g IF A LIQUID IS IN EQUILIBRIUM, THE FORCES ACTING AT A POINT CANNOT HAVE A PREFERENTIAL DIRECTION OR THE LIQUID WOULD MOVE. Boring interface.Suggestion needed. AT ANY GIVEN POINT IN A STATIONARY LIQUID, THE PRESSURE IS THE SAME IN ALL DIRECTIONS. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2B-05 Pressure Forces in Liquids
An open ended cylinder kept shut by liquid pressure What happens as the submerged cylinder filled with air is filled with water ? Air There are two forces acting on the plate. It’s weight down and PA up. When PA exceeds the weight the cylinder stays intact PA In this situation the plate has to now support the weight of the water and when the weight of the water plus plate exceeds PA the cylinder opens Water PA THE LIQUID PRESSURE DEPENDS ONLY ON DEPTH P = ρgh. THE UPWARD FORCE DEPENDS ON THE AREA F = PA 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2B-02 Pascal's Vases Examining the Pressure at the bottom of differently shaped vessels filled with fluid If the different vessels were filled to the same height, how does the pressure differ at each vessel base ? P = ρgh THE PRESSURE IS DEPENDENT ONLY ON THE HEIGHT h AND NOT THE VOLUME OR SHAPE OF THE VESSEL. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2B-03 Water Seeks Own Level
Liquid pressure depends on the “height” of the liquid column. But how is this height measured ? Investigating the Dependence of Pressure on Height The slanted cylinder and twisted cylinder hold a longer “total length” of water. But in each case the vertical height is the same. Same liquid. Same pressure in the bottom P = ρgh LIQUID PRESSURE DEPENDS ONLY ON VERTICAL HEIGHT (MEASURED STRAIGHT DOWN THAT IS PARALLEL TO g). 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Effects of Atmospheric Pressure
In our everyday lives we do not feel we are supporting a very large weight because it is the environment in which we developed. If we immerse a tube in a liquid So that all the air bubbles are removed and then we raise the tube to a vertical position we find that atmospheric pressure supports 76cm of mercury or 32 feet of water. Knowing the weight of the Mercury and the area of the tube we find that 1 Atmosphere = Pa 1 Atmosphere = pounds/sq in This is equal to ρgh for the Mercury No Air g P is the same 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Everyday examples Suction cups – remove the air and the atmosphere holds it in place. Drinking through a straw – create a partial vacuum in your mouth and the atmospheric pressure pushes the fluid up the straw Pressure is lower at higher altitudes – water boils at a lower temperature Pressure is higher the deeper you go in the ocean – leads to more nitrogen being absorbed and the bends. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Suction cup Question: What is the minimum area of a suction cup that can be used to lift 100kg. The suction cup will stay attached to the block providing PA is greater than F/A. In practice there would only be a partial vacuum under the cup so the cup would break away from the block at a lower force and pressure. 1.013 x 105 x A = 100 x A = 9.67/1000m2 Which would be a circle of radius just over 2 inches mg F PA 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Archimedes Principle buoyant force = weight of liquid displaced
If an object is lowered into a liquid the volume it occupies was being supported by an upward force that exactly balanced the weight of the same volume of liquid so the object will feel the same upward buoyant force. buoyant force = weight of liquid displaced this is true for objects that are immersed and for objects that float. So a boat made of steel can float because it can displace a volume of liquid greater than it’s own weight. A large volume of the boat is air so the average density is less than that of water. T + FB = W = mg g T mg Fb 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Floating and buoyant force
If a floating object is submerged to a depth h then the pressure on the bottom is ρgh and the upward force is ρghA but hA is the volume of liquid displaced, V, and ρgV is the weight of liquid displaced so the Fb = weight of liquid displaced = weight of object ρliquid x Vdisplaced x g = ρobject x Vobject x g If an object has a density larger than the liquid it will sink. Suppose the top is at a depth of dt and the bottom at db. Then there is downward pressure on the top ρgdt and an upward pressure on the bottom ρgdb so the net buoyant force Fb = ρg(db – dt)A = ρgV = weight of liquid displaced. T + Fb = weight of the object = mg g Fb T g Fb 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2B-08 Buoyant Force Compare the Buoyant Force between two cylinders of equal volume and different mass. T Mg Which object experiences the greater buoyant force, the heavier one or lighter one ? T Mg FB Scale reads tension in cord: T = Mg – FB Mg = FB + T We find Fb to be exactly equal for both masses BUOYANT FORCE DOES NOT DEPEND ON THE MATERIAL OF THE OBJECT DISPLACING THE FLUID. THE BUOYANT FORCE DEPENDS ONLY ON THE VOLUME OF FLUID DISPLACED. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Should anything happen to the reading on the lower scale ?
2B-09 Archimedes I What happens to the reading on the upper scale when the block is lowered into the beaker of water ? T Mg FB The fluid exerts a buoyant force on the block, which reduces the tension on the cord. The reading on the scale is lowered. T = Mg – FB Should anything happen to the reading on the lower scale ? Since the fluid exerts a force on the block, the block exerts an EQUAL and OPPOSITE force on the fluid. EVEN THOUGH THE BLOCK DOES NOT ‘TOUCH’ THE LOWER SCALE, THE FORCE ON THE FLUID DUE TO THE BLOCK IS TRANSMITTED TO THE SCALE. THE REDUCTION IN READING ON THE UPPER SCALE IS EXACTLY EQUAL TO THE INCREASE IN READING ON THE LOWER SCALE. IF THE CONTAINER WAS FULL SO THAT WHEN THE BLOCK WAS INSERTED THE VOLUME THE BLOCK DISPLACED SPILLS OUT OF THE CONTAINER THEN THE BOTTOM SCALE WOULD NOT CHANGE. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2B-10 Archimedes II A C B A. The block is not immersed T1 = Mg
Use a scale to establish the relationship between the Buoyant Force on an object and the Weight of Fluid Displaced by the object T1 Mg A T3 Mg FB WDF C T2 Mg FB B A. The block is not immersed T1 = Mg B. The block is immersed but the liquid runs out T2 = Mg – FB C. The displaced liquid is poured into the can T3 = Mg – FB + WDF T1 is found to equal T3 which means that the bouyant force FB is equal to WDF the Weight of the displaced Fluid Force analysis of the block THE BUOYANT FORCE IS EQUAL TO THE WEIGHT OF THE FLUID DISPLACED. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

2A-08 Buoyancy of Air Investigating the Buoyant force resulting from Air mbg mag ρairgVb ρairgVa Does the air exert a buoyant force ? Setting the sum of torques on equal-arm balance about pivot equal to zero, we have in the presence of air: mag – ρairgVa = mbg - ρairgVb Vb > Va implies mb > ma which is demonstrated in vacuum IF SENSITIVE WEIGHING OF AN OBJECT IS REQUIRED, UNEQUAL BUOYANT FORCES COULD AFFECT THE RESULTS. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Pressure and Volume of a Gas
In the apparatus shown the pressure at point A is the same as at point B so the pressure exerted by the gas is equal to ρgh. If we add more mercury we can measure both pressure and volume and if the temperature does not change we find PV = constant A B h g 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Summary of Chapter 9 g P = F/A Pascals F1/A1 = F2/A2
Work done = F1h1 = F2h2 1 Atmosphere = Pa and will support 76cm of mercury 32 feet of water No Air g 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Liquids P = W/A = ρgh Water is 1 gram/cc 1 gram/cm3 = 1000kg/m3
buoyant force = the weight of liquid displaced T + FB = W = mg For a floating object T = 0 g T mg Fb 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Balloons Any object in the atmosphere is subject to a buoyant force and Archimedes law applies so if the buoyant force is greater than the weight of an object it will rise. So since the material of a balloon has a density greater than air then the balloon must be filled with a gas having a density less than air. In practice balloons either use Helium or hot air. As the balloon rises the buoyant force decreases because the density of the air decreases and the balloon will float at constant altitude when the buoyant force is equal to the weight. FB mg 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Surface tension The molecules and atoms in a liquid are continually in motion so that a molecule at the surface can escape and this is evaporation. However a molecule at the surface feels an attractive force pulling it back into the liquid and this is surface tension. This is the reason that one can form bubbles and water drops 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Questions Chapter 9 Q1 Is it possible for a 100-lb woman to exert a greater pressure on the ground than a 250-lb man? Explain. Yes. The pressure will be mg/A so if A is small e.g. small heels the pressure will be very large Q3 The same force is applied to two cylinders that contain air. One has a piston with a large area, and the other has a piston with a small area. In which cylinder will the pressure be greater? The pressure is F/A so the one with the smallest A 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Q4 A penny and a quarter are embedded in the concrete bottom of a swimming pool filled with water. Which of these coins experiences the greater downward force due to water pressure acting on it? Each coin has to support the weight of water in a vertical column so the quarter has the biggest force F =PA Q5 Why are bicycle tires often inflated to a higher pressure than automobile tires, even though the automobile tires must support a much larger weight? Once again the upward force has to support the weight so F = mg but F = PA where A is the area of the tire on the road so M/m = (PA)car/(Pa)bike so Ma/mA = Pcar /Pbike the ratio of the areas is smaller than the ratio of the weights so Pbike is higher. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Q6 The fluid in a hydraulic system pushes against two pistons, one with a large area and the other with a small area. A. Which piston experiences the greater force due to fluid pressure acting on it? B. When the smaller piston moves, does the larger piston move through the same distance, a greater distance, or a smaller distance than the smaller piston? The pressure is the same and F = PA so the larger piston has the larger force. B. The work done is the same so the small piston moves the most Q8 When a mercury barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure, does the closed end of the tube above the mercury column usually contain air? No it needs to be a vacuum 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Q9 Could we use water instead of mercury to make a barometer
Q9 Could we use water instead of mercury to make a barometer? What advantages and disadvantages would be associated with the use of water? The height of the liquid depends on the density. So one can use water but the column would be 32 feet high Q10 If you climbed a mountain carrying a mercury barometer, would the level of the mercury column in the glass tube of the barometer increase or decrease (compared to the mercury reservoir) as you climb the mountain? The pressure decreases because you have a smaller column of air to support so the height would decrease 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Q11 If you filled an airtight balloon at the top of a mountain, would the balloon expand or contract as you descend the mountain? It would contract because the atmospheric pressure would increase and the pressure inside the balloon would increase to balance this change Q12 When you go over a mountain pass in an automobile, your ears often “pop” both on the way up and on the way down. How can you explain this effect? As you go up or down the atmospheric pressure changes and the popping is the inner ear adjusting to the pressure change 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Q15 Is it possible for a solid metal ball to float in mercury?
The upward force is the weight of liquid displaced and the downward force is the weight of the ball. If the density of the liquid is greater than that of the ball it will float. Q16 A rectangular metal block is suspended by a string in a breaker of water so that the block is completely surrounded by water. Is the water pressure at the bottom of the block equal to, greater than, or less than the water pressure at the top of the block? The pressure is ρgh so the pressure is higher at the bottom. The difference in pressure provides the upward force on the block 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Q19 A large bird lands on a rowboat that is floating in a swimming pool. Will the water level in the pool increase, decrease, or remain the same when the bird lands on the boat? The buoyant force is the weight of liquid displaced so to support a larger weight more liquid is displaced and the level rises Q20 A rowboat is floating in a swimming pool when the anchor is dropped over the side. When the anchor is dropped, will the water level in the swimming pool increase, decrease, or remain the same? When the anchor is in the boat it’s whole weight is supported and the amount of water displaced balances that weight. When it is thrown overboard it sinks and only displaces it’s volume so the water level falls 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015

Q22 If an object has the same density as water, will the object float to the top, sink to the bottom, or take neither course? Providing the object and water are incompressible the object will stay at whatever depth it is placed. It will not sink or rise. 11/14/2018 Physics 214 Fall 2015
