9.3 DENSITY AND PRESSURE Chapter 9 Solids and Fluids The density of an object having uniform composition is defined as its mass M divided by its volume V: M V [9.6] SI unit: kilogram per meter cubed (kg/m 3 ) Densities of Some Common Substances Substance (kg/m 3 ) a Substance (kg/m 3 ) a Ice 0.97 0 3 Water.00 0 3 Aluminum 2.70 0 3 Glycerin.26 0 3 Iron 7.86 0 3 Ethyl alcohol 0.806 0 3 Copper 8.92 0 3 Benzene 0.879 0 3 Silver 0.5 0 3 Mercury 3.6 0 3 Lead.3 0 3 Air.29 Gold 9.3 0 3 Oxygen.43 Platinum 2.4 0 3 Hydrogen 8.99 0 2 Uranium 8.7 0 3 Helium.79 0 a

9.4 VARIATION OF PRESSURE WITH DEPTH When a fluid is at rest in a container, all portions of the fluid must be in static equilibrium at rest with respect to the observer. Furthermore, all points at the same depth must be at the same pressure.

Atmospheric pressure is also caused by a piling up of fluid in this case, the fluid is the gas of the atmosphere. The weight of all the air from sea level to the edge of space results in an atmospheric pressure of P 0.03 0 5 Pa (equivalent to 4.7 lb/in. 2 ) at sea level. This result can be adapted to find the pressure P at any depth h (y y 2 ) (0 y 2 ) below the surface of the water: P P 0 gh
P P 0 gh The pressure P at a depth h below the surface of a liquid open to the atmosphere is greater than atmospheric pressure by the amount ρgh Pascal s principle A change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every point of the fluid and to the walls of the container.

9.5 PRESSURE MEASUREMENTS 0 The pressure P is called the absolute pressure, and P P 0 is called the gauge pressure. If P in the system is greater than atmospheric pressure, h is positive. If P is less than atmospheric pressure (a partial vacuum), h is negative, meaning that the right-hand column in Figure 9.6a is lower than the left-hand column. Another instrument used to measure pressure is the barometer (Fig. 9.6b), in- P h P 0 A B P = 0 (a) h (b) P 0 Another instrument used to measure pressure is the barometer (Fig. 9.6b), invented by Evangelista Torricelli (608 647). A long tube closed at one end is filled with mercury and then inverted into a dish of mercury. The closed end of the tube is nearly a vacuum, so its pressure can be taken to be zero. It follows that P 0 gh, where is the density of the mercury and h is the height of the mercury column. Note that the barometer measures the pressure of the atmosphere, whereas the manometer measures pressure in an enclosed fluid. One atmosphere of pressure is defined to be the pressure equivalent of a column of mercury that is exactly 0.76 m in height at 0 C with g 9.806 65 m/s 2. At this temperature, mercury has a density of 3.595 0 3 kg/m 3 ; therefore, P 0 gh (3.595 0 3 kg/m 3 )(9.806 65 m/s 2 )(0.760 0 m).03 0 5 Pa atm

The fluid is incompressible, which means its density is constant. 3. The fluid motion is steady, meaning that the velocity, density, and pressure at each point in the fluid don t change with time. 4. The fluid moves without turbulence. This implies that each element of the fluid has zero angular velocity about its center, so there can t be any eddy currents present in the moving fluid.

The condition Av=constant is equivalent to the fact that the volume of fluid that enters one end of the tube in a given time interval equals the volume of fluid leaving the tube in the same interval, assuming that the fluid is incompressible and there are no leaks Av= Flow Rate TIP 9.3 Continuity Equations The rate of flow of fluid into a system equals the rate of flow out of the system. The incoming fluid occupies a certain volume and can enter the system only if the fluid already inside goes out, thereby making room.

Another factor influencing the lift wn in Figure 9.36, is the slight upward tilt of the wing. This causes striking the bottom to be deflected downward, producing a reaction by Newton s third law.
