What is Pressure?
|
Pressure is the force per unit of area.
|
|
|
What is a Pascal
|
A Pascal is the unit of measure for PRESSURE.
|
|
|
What is a fluid?
|
Anything that takes the shape of it's container
|
|
|
What is Pascal's Principle?
|
Pascal's Principle is the rule that an increase in pressure on a confined fluid is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid.
|
|
|
What is a hydraulic system?
|
A hydraulic system transmits an increase in pressure from one part of a confined fluid to the other. The force is transmitted from a small surface area to a larger one.
|
|
|
What is Buoyant Force?
|
Buoyant force is the upward force on an object submerged in a fluid.
|
|
|
What is Archimedes Principle?
|
Archimedes Principle is the the rule that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
|
|
|
What is Density?
|
Density is mass per unit of volume. For our purposes measured in g/cm3 or g/mL.
|
|
|
What is Bernoulli's Principle?
|
Bernoulli's Principle states that the pressure in a fluid decreases as the speed of the fluid increases.
