PRESENTATION OUTLINE

PRESSURE IN FLUIDS

  • Fluid pressure depends on depth
  • The greater the depth, the greater the pressure
  • Fluids are liquids and gases: they take the shape of there containers and flow
  • Fluids flow from high pressure to low pressure areas
  • Pressure = force divided by area

DENSITY AND BUOYANCY

  • Density is the ratio of mass In a substance D=m/v
  • Sinking: an object will sink if it is more dense than the fluid is in cr if it Has greater weight than the buoyancy
  • Floating- an object will float if it's less dense than the fluid it's in or is equal to the buoyancy force

ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE

  • Displace: take the place of
  • Principle- buoyant force on an object in a fluid is an upward force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces
