Term
density eq.
Definition

ρ = m/v

 

p- density

Term
desnity of liquid water
Definition
1000 kg/m3 or 1 g/cm3 or 1 kg/L
Term
specific gradvity eq.
Definition

sp. gr. = p/pH2o

 

specific grav = density of substance/density of water

 

pH20- 1 kg/L

Term
Force of grav on fluid eq.
Definition

Fgrav=mg=pVg

 

p-density

V-volume

g-grav

Term
Pressure eq. with regard to force and area
Definition

P = F / A

 

force (perpendicular)/area

P in (Pa)

Term
Hydrostatic Gauge Pressure eq.
Definition

Pgauge=PfluidDg

 

D-depth of object

 

Term

Eq. for Ptotal when atmospheric and hydrostatic pressure both applicable.

eq. when lid closed off from atmosphere, but layer of gas above surface of water.

Definition

both atmospheric and hydrostatic applicable:

Ptotal=Patm + Pgauge

 

lid closed but layer of gas:

Ptotal=Pat surface + Pgauge

Term
describe when/if hydrostatic gauge pressure and total pressure is proportional to depth and density of fluid.
Definition

hydrostatic gauge pressure is proportional to depth and desnity of fluid

 

Total pressure is not proportional to depth and desnity of fluid if Pat surface isn't zero.

Term
Archimedes' bouyancy principle and eq.
Definition

magnitude of buoyant force equal to weight of fluid displaced by object

 

Fbuoy= pfluidVsubg = wobject

 

Vsub-volume submerged

wobject- weight of object

Term
Floating objects in equilibrium on surface eq.
Definition

wobject = Fbuoy

Vsub/V = pobject/pfluid

 

pobject < pfluid : floats

Term
apparent weight eq.
Definition
wapparent = w - FBuoy
Term
true weight eq.
Definition
w = pobjectVg
Term
How force, area and distance relate in hydraulics
Definition

F1/A1=F2/A2

A1d1=A2d2

F2d2=F1d1

 

 

Term
surce tension eq.
Definition

Fsurfacetension=2γL

 

γ-coefficent of ST

L-legnth

Term
Flow Rate
Definition

f=Av

 

A-area

v-volume

Term
How does flow rate in a pipe change when a fluid is incompressable?
Definition
It doesn't. When fluid incrompressable, flow rate stays the same everywhere in pipe.
Term
continuity eq.
Definition

A1V1=A2V2

 

A-area=diameter2=∏r2

Term
Bernoulli's law and eq. for ideal fluids.
Definition

-incompresable

-negligable viscosity

-steady flow rate

- laminar flow (stream lines don't cross, flows smoothly)

 

P1 + .5pv12 + pgy1 = P2 + .5pv22+pgy2

y-height

Term
Torricelli's result eq.
Definition

vefflux = √(2gD)

 

vefflux - water shooting out hole

D - distance from surface of liq to hole

Term
pressure in realation to flow speed
Definition
pressure lower where flow speed greater
Term
equation for and explanation of young's modulus
Definition

E=(F/A)/(ΔL/L) = stress/strain

 

E - elastic modulus or young's modulus.

-a constant for a given material and a measure of its strength 

Term
based on young's modulus, what would a graph of stress over strain look like? 
Definition
[image]
Term
What equation would you use to solve a question about the curshing mass needed to cause a % change in legth in a bone when the bones area is given? the compressive strength is also given. 
Definition

you'd rearange young's modulus eq. so that:

F= (ΔL/L)AE=mg

and solve for m 

Term
What unit is Young's modulus in?
Definition
Pa
Term
eq. for gravitational potential energy
Definition
PEgrav= mgh
Term
If two objects are submerged in a fluid at the same depth, compared to the smaller object, will the larger one expereince larger or less fluid pressure?
Definition

Equal pressure. the pressure due to a fluid is independent of the size of the object.

Pfluid=ρgd

 

P- pressure

ρ-density of fluid

g- grav

d - depth of object
