Topics in Fluids

1

3.1 Thrust and Pressure

  • Thrust is the force acting perpendicular to a surface. Unit: Newton (N)
  • Pressure is thrust per unit area acting on a surface. Unit: Pascal (Pa) or N/m²
  • Same force on smaller area produces higher pressure than on larger area
2

3.2 Pressure in Fluids

  • Fluids include both liquids and gases - all flowing substances
  • Fluid molecules in constant motion move equally in all directions
  • Fluid pressure acts in all directions: upward, downward, and sideways
3

3.3 Atmospheric Pressure

  • Atmosphere: layer of air surrounding Earth up to ~300 km height
  • Atmospheric pressure: pressure exerted by weight of air in atmosphere
  • At sea level, atmospheric pressure = 101.3 kPa = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa = 1 atm
4

3.4 Pascal's Law and Hydraulic Systems

  • Pascal's Law: External pressure on incompressible liquid transmitted uniformly throughout liquid
  • Pressure transmits equally in all directions in confined liquid
  • Demonstrated by syringe with holes - water squirts equally from all holes
