CE2703 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: Hydrostatics, Contact Force, Viscosity
Document Summary
Substances that are able to flow fluids (liquids and gases) Ratio of a substance"s density compared to the density of water specific gravity. Mass (as it relates to density and volume) m = v. Contact force exerted by a fluid on a given area of an object"s surface pressure. Pressure exerted by a non-moving fluid on an object hydrostatic pressure. P(atm) or p : pressure just above the fluid and. Net upward force equal to the weight of the fluid being displaced buoyant force. Volume of fluid that passes a particular point in a given time flow rate ( ) Flow rate = av (a = cross sectional area) (v = velocity of fluid) Flow rates are the same at all points along a closed pipe continuity equation. Conservation of energy of fluids within a pipe bernoulli"s principle. P + u + k = p + u + k.
