Formulas and Key Relations

1) Basic Fluid Concepts

ρ = m/V

P_av = F/A

P = lim(ΔA→0) ΔF/ΔA

2) Pressure in Fluids and Atmosphere

P2 - P1 = ρgh

P = Pa + ρgh

Pa = ρgh

3) Pascal's Law and Hydraulic Machines

F2 = (A2/A1)F1

A1v1 = A2v2

4) Streamline Flow and Continuity

A_Pv_P = A_Rv_R = A_Qv_Q (Av = constant)

Key relations

Density is mass per unit volume, ρ = m/V.

In a fluid at rest, pressure increases with depth according to P2 - P1 = ρgh.

Atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1 atm = 1.013 × 10^5 Pa.

The mercury barometer measures atmospheric pressure using Pa = ρgh.
