Term
Give me an equation for pressure.
Definition
F/A or Force/Area
Term
Liquids exert ______ equally in all directions at all points within the liquid.
Definition
pressure
Term
The pressure exerted by a liquid at any point is proportional to the density of the liquid times the depth of that point below the liquid’s ______________
Definition
surface
Term
The total pressure at any given point in a liquid is the pressure exerted by the liquid plus the pressure of the __________________________
Definition
air above it
Term
Define: buoyancy
Definition
The apparent loss of weight of an object immersed in a fluid
Term
An immersed object displaces _______ of the fluid in which it is immersed.
Definition
some
Term
A completely submerged object always displaces a volume of fluid equal to its own ___________.
Definition
volume
Term
Define: Archimedes’ principle
Definition
An immersed object is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces
Term
Give three principles of flotation.
Definition
A. Object more dense than immersion fluid, it sinks. B. Object less dense than immersion fluid, it floats. C. Object equal in density of immersion fluid, it suspends.
Term
A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own ______________.
Definition
weight
Term
Changes in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid at rest are transmitted _______________ to all points in the fluid and act in all directions.
Definition
undiminished
Term
The hydraulic press is based on ________ principle
Definition
Pascal's
Term
Pressure of a liquid at rest does/does not depends on the shape of the container.
Definition
does not
Term
Give me an Equation for pressure (due to a liquid).
Definition
(Weight density)(depth)
More explanation: Pressure = F/A which is Weight/Area
Weight = weight density* volume so:
Pressure = weight density*area*depth/area
The area’s divide out giving us: Weight density * Depth
Term
Define: buoyant force
Definition
When an object is submerged, the fluid exerts an upward force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
Term
Define: displacement
Definition
Volume of a fluid (air or fluid) replaced by an object
Term
What controls the density of a submarine or ocean-liner?
Definition
Water contained in its ballast tanks
Term
How does a crocodile change his density?
Definition
Swallowing stones
