4. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-14 Definition of pressure: where |N| is the magnitude of the (normal) force exerted on one object by another and A is the area of the surface at which the two objects are in contact. also, 1 atm = 1.01 x 10 5 Pa

5. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-15 Pressure in liquids (and gases): Pressure is not a vector (does not have a direction). Normal force (N) is between two “objects” which can be adjacent regions of water in the same container. Pressure in liquids is associated with a geometric point, not with an object or pair of objects.

6. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-16 Pressure as a function of depth in a liquid The pressure in a liquid increases linearly with depth from its value P 0 at the surface that is open to the atmosphere or from some other reference point. The increase in pressure for every one meter increase in depth is proportional to the density of the liquid.  = density = mass/volume

7. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-17 The difference in pressure between two points in a liquid depends on the difference of their depths below the open surface (i.e. below the points where P = P 0 ). Comparing pressures at different points

8. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-18 Rank the pressures at the three points 1.P A < P B = P C 2.P A < P B < P C 3.P A < P C < P B 4.P C < P A < P B

11. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-111 For differently shaped containers that have the same bottom surface and are filled with the same liquid up to the same height the weights of the contents are the pressures at the bottom are

12. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-112 Free-body diagrams for liquids *consider fluid in equilibrium  F y = 0

13. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-113 Pascal’s principle A change in pressure applied to a fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container. *Pascal’s principle does not state that the pressure is the same at every point in the fluid.

15. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-115 Mercury barometer

16. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-116 Another barometer is placed next to the one discussed previously. The second barometer uses a wider glass tube but is otherwise the same. The top of the column in the second barometer is 1.higher than 2.lower than 3.at the same height as 4.Don’t know. the height in the narrow barometer.

17. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-117 Mercury has a density that is about 14 times greater than that of water. If you were to build a barometer that uses water instead of mercury, how would the height of the column of water needed compare to that of the mercury? 1.higher than 2.lower than 3.equal to 4. Can’t tell.

18. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-118 Two disks that make a tight seal contain a small space that is initially filled with air. The space is then evacuated, so that atmospheric pressure holds the two disks together. 1.A one-kilogram mass 2.Two physics text books 3.A three-gallon bucket of water 4.Two (physics) students Atmospheric pressure is about 15 psi (pounds per square inch), or 100 000 N/m 2. The radius of the disks is about 6 inches, or 15 cm. If the evacuated disks are hung from the ceiling, what objects can they support? How big is atmospheric pressure?

19. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-119 Archimedes’ principle The magnitude of the buoyant force is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. The buoyant force is the total upward force exerted on an object by the surrounding fluid.

20. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-120 A cubical block made of a certain type of plastic has a density of 0.75 g/cm 3. The density of water is 1.0 g/cm 3. If the block is allowed to float in water, what fraction of the volume of the block would be below the water level? 1.one quarter 2.one half 3.three quarters 4.some other fraction

21. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-121 How do boats float? If the density of an object is less than that of water, an object floats in water. If the density of an object is greater than that of water, an object sinks in water. …but boats can be made of metal, e.g., aluminum (  Al /  W ~ 2.7)…

22. Physics 215 – Fall 2014Lecture 15-122 A glass beaker is filled with water and placed on a balance. A person holds a finger into the water. The reading on the balance will 1.go up 2.go down 3.stay the same 4.Can’t tell.
