Atmospheric Pressure Basically weight of atmosphere! Air molecules are colliding with you right now! Pressure = 1 10 5 N/m 2 = 14.7 lbs/in 2 Example 1: Plate r = 2.4 in A = r 2 = 18.1 in 2 F = P A = (14.7 lbs/in 2 )(18.1 in 2 ) = 266 lbs Example 2: Sphere r = 0.1 m A = 4 r 2 = 0.125 m 2 F = 12,000 N (over 2,500 lbs)!

Atmospheric Pressure You buy a bag of potato chips in Lafayette and forget them (un-opened) under the seat of your car. You drive out to Denver Colorado to visit a friend for Thanksgiving, and when you get there you discover the lost bag of chips. The odd thing you notice right away is that the bag seems to have inflated like a balloon (i.e. it seems much more round and bouncy than when you bought it). How can you explain this? Due to the change in height, the air is much thinner in Denver. Thus, there is less pressure on the outside of the bag of chips in Denver, so the bag seems to inflate because the air pressure on the inside is greater than on the outside.

Pascal s Principle A change in pressure at any point in a confined fluid is transmitted everywhere in the fluid Hydraulic Lift P = F 1 / A 1 on right P = F 2 / A 2 on left Since P is same, set equal F 1 / A 1 = F 2 / A 2 F 2 = F 1 (A 2 / A 1 ) Can get LARGE force! Volume is conserved A 1 d 1 = A 2 d 2 d 2 = d 1 A 1 / A 2 Work is the SAME: W = Fd F 2 d 2 = F 1 (A 2 /A 1 ) d 1 (A 1 /A 2 ) = F 1 d 1 Lecture 16 Purdue University, Physics 220 7

A fluid exerts an upward buoyant force on a submerged object equal in magnitude to the weight of the volume of fluid displaced by the object Lecture 16 Purdue University, Physics 220 17
Sink or Float The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the liquid that is displaced If the buoyant force is larger than the weight of the object, it will float; otherwise it will sink We can calculate how much of a floating object will be submerge Object is in equilibrium F B = mg y Lecture 16 Purdue University, Physics 220 18
