The lower falls at Yellowstone
National Park: the water at the top of the falls passes
through a narrow slot, causing the
velocity to increase at that point. In this chapter, we will
study the physics of fluids in motion.
Fluid Motion

• Streamline flow is the motion of a fluid in which every particle in the fluid follows the same path past a particular point as that
followed by previous particles.

Bernoulli’s Theorem for Fluids at Rest.
For many situations, the fluid remains at rest so that v1
and v2 are zero. In such cases we have:
P1 - P2 = rgh2 - rgh1 DP = DP = rrg(hg(h2 2 - h- h11) )
h r = 1000 kg/m3
This is the same relation seen earlier for finding the pressure P at a given depth h = (h2 - h1) in a fluid.

Torricelli’s theorem:
Given: h = 200 m

v = 62.6 m/s
v = 62.6 m/s
v = 140 mi/hr
