Forces in FluidsChapter 11
State Standard: Unbalanced forces cause changes in velocity. All
objects experience a buoyant force when immersed in a fluid.
Pressure
• Force between two objects
• Two objects come into contact with each other
• Gravity “pulls” object down
• Based on area and force exerted
• Formula is Pressure = force ÷ Area
• SI unit is “pascal”
Fluid Pressure• Fluid: material that
easily flows– (ex. Oil, water, air)
• Changes shape• Causes
– Atoms push against each other
– Pull or push– Sum of all particle
forces
Air Pressure• Mixture of gases in
Earth’s atmosphere– Nitrogen,
oxygen, argon, carbon dioxide
• Each cubic meter = 1 kilogram
• Atmospheric gases press down
Variations in Air Pressure
• Symptoms: ears pop, hard to breathe, cold
• Atmospheric pressure decreases with land elevation– Decrease in inside and outside objects – Pressure wants to balance
Measuring Air Pressure
• Barometer
Water Pressure
• Balanced pressure
• P exerted equally in all directions
• Water is 800 times denser than air
• P increases with depth
• Divers need to reach surface at slow pace or risk obtaining the bends
Density
• Formula is D= mass ÷ volume– Volume is the length x width x height – Volume is the amount of space an object takes up
How do you change density?
• Removal or adding of a fluid– Adding water increases mass (__ __ __ __)– Adding air decreases mass (__ __ __ __ __)– The larger the surface area the less P
Buoyancy• Acts in the opposite the direction of the
force of gravity• Pushes up on an object• In water, object feels lighter• Submerged objects have unbalanced forces
due to fluid exerting pressure on all surfaces of object/organism– Pressure increases with depth so upward
pressure is greater than downward pressure
Buoyancy
Archimedes’ Principle
• Applies to sinking and floating objects
• Buoyant force acting on submerged object is equal to the weight of the volume of the liquid displaced by an object and the buoyant force.
Archimedes’ Principle• Fluid air
• Air in container is denser than surroundings because air is under pressure (_ _ _ _)
• Heated air becomes less dense(_ _ _ _ _)
Pascal’s Principle• Fluid exerts P on
any surface it touches
• P increases the same amount all over the enclosed or contained fluid– Up, down and
sideways
Pascal’s Principle
Bernoulli’s Principle• Fluid moves from area of high pressure to
low pressure• Faster fluid moves the lower the pressure• Moving air exerts less pressure than still
air• In a plane, moving air creates “lift” under
plane which forces the plane up• Remember “heat” increases air pressure
