FLUIDS
- any substance that does not
have definite shape and exhibits the phenomenon of flow.
-A fluid is a collection of
molecules that are randomly arranged and held together by weak cohesive forces and by forces exerted by the walls of a container.
FLUIDS
• Fluids (derived from “to flow”) include liquids and gases
• Liquids flow under gravity until they occupy the lowest possible regions of their containers
• Gases expand to fill their containers regardless of the container’s shape

Fluid Statics
• Study of Fluids at rest
• Includes density, pressure and buoyancy principles
• Very applicable in almost all the scientific and engineering fields. • Used to determine a lot of other
material characters.
• Considered in aspects that
1. Density and Specific Gravity
• Density
– Important property of a substance
– Ratio of mass to its volume • Density = ρ = mass = m • volume V
• The gram was originally defined as the mass of one cubic
centimeter of water, so the density of water served as a benchmark
1. Density and Specific Gravity
• Densities of substances vary with temperature
• The max. value of ρw occurs at 4oC.
• A convenient unit of volume for fluids is the liter (L)
• 1 L = 103 cm3 {cc} = 10-3 m3
Material Density (kg/m3)
air 1.2
water 1 x 103
aluminum 2.7 x 103
white dwarf stars 109
neutron stars 1018
• When an object’s density is
greater than that of water it will sink in water
• When its density is less it will float
• For floating object- the fraction of the volume of an object that is submerged in any liquid
equals the ratio of the density of the object to that of the liquid.
• Example: ice-0.92 g/cm3 (92
percent of its volume is submerged)
1. Density and Specific Gravity
• The ratio of the density of the object to that of water is called specific gravity. It is unit-less! • s.g. = ρsubs
• ρw
• If 0 < s.g. < 1.00 then it FLOATS • If s.g. > 1.00 then it SINKS
- is the ratio of the density of a material to a standard
density.

1. Rank the four materials in increasing densities as they
are submerged in water.
Example:
Spill it…
• A 200-ml flask is filled with water at 4oC. When the flask is heated
a0t 80oC, 6g of water spill out.
What is density of water 80oC?
(Assume that the expansion of the flask is negligible.)
• Picture the problem
– The density of water at 80oC is ρ’
= m’/V (where V = 200ml = 200 cm3)
Spill it…
1. Calculate the original mass of water in the flask at 4oC using ρ =1g/cm3.
m = ρV = (1g/cm3) (200 cm3) = 200 g
2. Calculate the mass of water
remaining, m’, after 6g spills out m’ = m - 6g = 200g – 6g = 194g
3. Use this value of m’ to find ρ’ (density of water at 80oC)
ρ’ = m’/V = 194g/200cm3
1. Density and Specific Gravity
A REMARK:
• Most solids and liquids expand only slightly when heated, and contract slightly when subjected in external pressure.
• Since these changes in volume are relatively small, we often treat the densities of solids and liquids as approximately independent of temperature and pressure.
• However, this is different from gases, in Phys 3, we always put gasses into standard conditions (Standard Temperature and

– 1 atm = 101325 Pa = 14.70 lb/in2
– 1 atm (atmosphere) is the pressure exerted by the atmosphere at sea level

2. Pressure in a Fluid
• When a body is submerged in a fluid such as water, the fluid exerts a force
2. Pressure in a Fluid
• As any scuba diver knows, the pressure in a lake or ocean increases with depth.
• As any sky diver knows, the pressure of the atmosphere decreases with altitude.
• For water, density constant
2. Pressure in a Fluid
• We can prove this by considering a column of liquid (right) of height h
and cross-sectional area
A.
• To support the weight of the column, the pressure at the bottom must be
greater than the pressure at the top. The weight of the liquid column is
2. Pressure in a Fluid
• w = mg = ρVg = ρAhg • If P0 is the pressure at the top
and P is the pressure at the bottom, the net upward force exerted by this pressure
difference is PA – P0A.
• Setting this upward force equal to the weight of the column, we obtain:
• PA – P0A = ρAhg
• P – P0 = ρgh (ρ constant)

Lake if the pressure at the surface is 1 atm.
• Solution:

3. Pascal's Principle
• If we increase the pressure by
pressing down on the top surface with a piston, the increase in
pressure is the same throughout the liquid.
• This is known as Pascal's Principle, named after Blaise Pascal (1623-1662)
• “Pressure applied to an
3. Pascal's Principle
• A common application is the hydraulic lift shown right
• A small force F1 on the small piston produces a change in pressure F1/A1 that is
transmitted by the liquid to the large piston.
• Since the pressures at the small and large pistons are the same, the forces are related by F2/A2 = F1/A1 ,
• The force on the large piston F2 = (A1/A2)F1 is much

2. Pressure in a Fluid
• Figure at the right shows water in a container with different shapes.
• At first glance, it might seem that the pressure in the
largest section of the
container would be greatest and that water would
therefore be forced to a greater height in smaller sections of the container. • The fact that this does not
happen is known as
2. Pressure in a Fluid
• HYDROSTATIC PARADOX
– Although water in the largest section weighs more than in the smaller sections, some of this weight is supported by the normal force exerted by the walls of the container. – In fact, the shaded portion of the water is completely
2. Pressure in a Fluid
• We can use the fact that the pressure difference is
proportional to the depth of a fluid to measure unknown pressures.
• Figure to the right shows a simple pressure gauge, the
open tube manometer (consisting of a U-tube
2. Pressure in a Fluid
• The top of the tube is open to the atmosphere at pressure Pat. The other end of the tube is at
pressure P, which is to be measured.
• The difference P – Pat is known as gauge pressure, Pgauge = ρgh,
where ρ is the density of the liquid in the tube.
• The pressure you measure in the tires of automobile is gauge
pressure. When the tire is entirely flat, Pgauge is zero.
2. Pressure in a Fluid
• The absolute pressure P, is
obtained by adding atmospheric pressure to the gauge pressure. • RECALL:
• P = P0 + ρgh
• Pgauge = P – Pat = ρgh

• Figure at right shows a U-tube mercury barometer.
• The top end of the barometer has been closed off and

4. Buoyancy and Archimedes’
Principle
• A heavy object submerged in water is “weighed” by
suspending it using a spring
scale, the reading on the scale is
less than when the object is weighed in the air.
• This is because water exerts an upward force that partially
balances the force of gravity.
• This force is more evident when we submerge a piece of cork: • When completely submerged,
4. Buoyancy and Archimedes’
Principle
• The force exerted by a fluid on a body submerged in it is called Buoyant Force (FB).
– It is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.
• ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE
– A body wholly or partially
submerged in a fluid is
buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
• Archimedes Principle works
4. Buoyancy and Archimedes’
Principle
• Archimedes (287-212 BC) has been tasked by King Hieron II to determine if the crown made for the king was made of pure gold or has been adulterated with some cheap metal such as silver. • As the story goes, Archimedes came up with the solution while
4. Buoyancy and Archimedes’
Principle
• What Archimedes found was a simple and accurate way to
determine the specific gravity of the crown (w/o destroying it~) which he could then compare with the specific gravity of gold! • The specific gravity of an object
is the weight of the object in air divided by the weight of an equal volume of water
• s.g = weight of object in air .
• weight of equal volume of water
• = wo
4. Buoyancy and Archimedes’
Principle
• But according to Archimedes’ Principle, the weight of an equal volume of water equals the
buoyant force on the object when it is submerged.
• It is therefore equal to the loss in weight of the object when it is
weighed while submerged in water, thus
s.g. = weight of object in air . weight loss when submerged in water s.g. = wo
4. Buoyancy and Archimedes’
Principle
• The purity of King
Hieron’s crown could thus be determined by weighing the crown in air and then weighing it
again in water, and
CROWNING GLORY
• The specific gravity of gold is 19.3. If a crown made of pure gold weighs 8N in air, what will be its weight when it is
submerged in water?
• 1. The submerged weight equals weight in air minus weight in water
– wsub = wair/true - wloss
• 2. Archimedes principle relates the weight loss to the weight (in air/true) and specific gravity:
s.g. = weight in air _ => wloss = wair => wloss = 8N = 0.415 N weight loss s.g. 19.3
4. Buoyancy and Archimedes’
Principle
• The measured weight Fs of an object submerged in a fluid is the difference between the true
weight w and the buoyant force FB.
• Fs = w – FB.
• If the density of the object is ρ, its volume is V, and the density of the fluid is ρf, the weight is w = ρgV, and the buoyant force is FB = ρfgV.
• The measured weight is then
FLOATING CORK!!!
• A cork has a density of 200 kg/m3. Find the fraction of the
volume of the cork that is submerged when the cork floats in water.
• Picture the Problem: Let V be the volume of the cork and V’ be the volume that is submerged when it floats. The weight of the cork is ρcgV, and the buoyant force due to the water is ρwgV’.
• 1. Since the cork is in equilibrium, the buoyant force equals the weight:
• ρcgV = ρwgV’ • 2. Solve for V’/V:
• V’ = ρc = 200 kg/m3 = 1
• V ρw 1000 kg/m3 5
Archimedes’ Principle:
