Density
Density• Importantproperty of materials (solids, liquids,
gases)• Measure of compactness of how much mass an
object occupies• “lightness” or “heaviness” of materials of the
same size
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Density
• Equation :
• Units of: – mass in grams or kilograms– volume in cm3 or m3
– density in kg/m3 or g/cm3
Example: The density of mercury is 13.6 g/cm3, so mercury has 13.6 times as much mass as an equal volume of water
(density 1 g/cm3).
density = massvolume
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Density
Weight density• in equation form:
often expressed in pounds per cubic foot
example: density of salt water is 64 lb/ft3, more dense
than fresh water (density 62.4 lb/ft3)
weight density = weightvolume

Pressure
• force per unit area that one object exerts on another
• equation:
• depends on area over which force is distributed
• units in lb/ft2, N/m2, or Pa (Pascals)
pressure = forcearea
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
PressureExample: The teacher between beds of nails is unharmed
because the applied force is spread over many nails. Combined surface area of the nails results in a tolerable pressure that does not puncture the skin.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Pressure in a Liquid• Force per unit area that a liquid exerts on
something• Depth dependent and not volume dependent
Example: Swim twice as deep and the pressure due to the weight of water above you is twice as much. (For total pressure, add to this the atmospheric pressure acting on the water surface.)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Pressure in a Liquid
Effects of water pressure• acts perpendicular to surfaces
of a container
• liquid spurts at right angles from a hole in the surface curving downward– The greater the depth, the greater
the exiting speed
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Pressure in a Liquid
• Acts equally in all directions
Examples: • your ears feel the same amount of pressure under
water no matter how you tip your head• bottom of a boat is pushed upward by water pressure• pressure acts upward when pushing a beach ball
under water
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Pressure in a Liquid• Independent of shape of container
whatever the shape of a container, pressure at any particular depth is the same
• Equation:
liquid pressure = weight density depth

A. Downstairs
B. Upstairs
C. Same
D. Not enough information in problem.
Explanation:
Water pressure depends on the depth below the free surface. Downstairs faucets are simply “deeper” and receive greater pressure, which means greater rate of water flow.

Buoyancy in a Liquid
Buoyancy • apparent loss of weight of a submerged object• amount equals the weight of water displaced
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Archimedes’ Principle
Archimedes’ Principle• discovered by Greek scientist Archimedes• relates buoyancy to displaced liquid• states that an immersed body (completely or
partially) is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces
• applies to gases and liquids
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Archimedes’ PrincipleApparent weight of a submerged object• weight out of water – buoyant force
Example: if a 3-kg block submerged in water apparently “weighs” 1 kg, then the buoyant force or
weight of water displaced is 2 kg
(BF = wt out of water – apparent wt = 3 kg – 1 kg = 2 kg)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Archimedes’ Principle
• Displacement rule: A completely submerged object always displaces a volume of liquid equal to its own volume.
Example: Place a stone in a container that is brim- full of water, and the amount of
water overflow equals the volume of the stone
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Archimedes’ Principle
• Buoyant force is equal to the weight of fluid displaced. It can also be understood by pressure differences.
• The greater pressure against the bottom of the box, minus the pressure on the top, results in an upward force—the buoyant force.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Archimedes’ Principle
Buoyant Force• Buoyant force is equal to the
weight of fluid displaced. • Understood by pressure
differences greater pressure against the box – pressure on the top of box

Archimedes’ PrincipleFlotation• Principle of flotation
– A floating object displaces a weight of fluid equal to its own weightExample: A solid iron 1-ton block may displace 1/8 ton of water
and sink. The same 1 ton of iron in a bowl shape displaces a greater volume of water—the
greater buoyant force allows it to float
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
The reason a person finds it easier to float in salt water, compared with fresh water, is that in salt water
A. the buoyant force is greater.

B. a person feels less heavy.
C. a smaller volume of water is displaced.
D. None of the above.
Explanation:
A floating person has the same buoyant force whatever the density of water. A person floats higher because a smaller volume of the denser salt water is displaced.

Pressure in a Gas
• Gas pressure is a measure of the amount of force per area that a gas exerts against containing walls.
• Here the force is exerted by the motion of molecules bouncing around.
• Temperature is a measure of the KE per molecules of the gas.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Pressure in a GasRelationship between pressure and density• Gas pressure is proportional to density
Example:
– Air pressure and air density inside an inflated tire are greater than the atmospheric pressure and density outside
– Twice as many molecules in the same volume air density doubled
– For molecules moving at the same speed (same temperature), collisions are doubled pressure doubled
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Pressure in a Gas
Double density of air by• Doubling the amount of air• Decreasing the volume to half
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Pressure in a Gas
Boyle’s Law• Relationship between pressure and volume for ideal
gases• An ideal gas is one in which intermolecular forces play
no role• States that pressure volume is a constant for a given
mass of confined gas regardless of changes in pressure or volume (with temperature remaining unchanged)
• pressure volume = constant means that P1V1 = P2V2

Earth’s AtmosphereAtmosphere• ocean of air • exerts pressure
The Magdeburg-hemispheres demonstration in 1654 by Otto von Guericke showed the large magnitude of atmosphere’s pressure.
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Atmospheric Pressure
Atmospheric pressure• Caused by weight of air• Varies from one locality to another• Not uniform• Measurements are used to predict
weather conditions
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Atmospheric Pressure
• Pressure exerted against bodies immersed in the atmosphere result from the weight of air pressing from above
• At sea level is 101 kilopascals(101 kPa)
• Weight of air pressing down on 1 m2 at sea level ~ 100,000 N, so atmospheric pressure is ~ 105 N/m2
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Atmospheric Pressure• Pressure at the bottom of a column of air reaching to the
top of the atmosphere is the same as the pressure at the bottom of a column of water 10.3 m high.
• Consequence: the highest the atmosphere can push water up into a vacuum pump is 10.3 m
• Mechanical pumps that don’t depend on atmospheric pressure don’t have the 10.3-m limit
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Mechanical Pump
• When the piston is lifted, the intake valve opens and air moves in to fill the empty space.
• When the piston is moved downward, the outlet valve opens and the air is pushed out.

Pascal’s Principle
Pascal’s principle• Discovered by Blaise Pascal, a scientist and theologian
in the 17th century• States that a change in pressure at any point in an
enclosed fluid at rest is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid
• Applies to all fluids—gasesand liquids

Pascal’s Principle• Application for gases and liquids
– seen in everyday hydraulic devices used in construction
– in auto lifts in service stations• increased air pressure produced by an air
compressor is transmitted through the air to the surface of oil in an
underground reservoir.The oil transmits thepressure to the piston,which lifts the auto.
(Here surface area of reservoir is irrelevant.)

Fluid Flow
Continuous flow• Volume of fluid that flows past any cross-section
of a pipe in a given time is the same as that flowing past any other section of the pipe even if the pipe widens or narrows.
• Fluid speeds up when it flows from a wide to narrow pipe
• Motion of fluid follows imaginary streamlines
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Bernoulli’s Principle
Bernoulli’s Principle• Discovered by Daniel Bernoulli, a 15th century
Swiss scientist• States that where the speed of a fluid increases,
internal pressure in the fluid decreases• Applies to a smooth, steady flow
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Bernoulli’s Principle
Streamlines• Thin lines representing fluid motion• Closer together, flow speed is greater and pressure
within the fluid is less (note the larger bubbles!)• Wider, flow speed is less and pressure within the fluid is
greater (greater pressure squeezes bubbles smaller)
Copyright © 2008 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley
Bernoulli’s Principle
Laminar flow• Smooth steady flow of constant density fluid
Turbulent flow• Flow speed above a critical point becomes
chaotic

Comment:
This reduction in pressure would be apparent if air bubbles were in the flowing water. Note their sizes increase in the narrow part, due to reduced pressure there!

Applications of Bernoulli
• Moving air gains speed above the roof of a house. This change in air velocity means reduced pressure on the roof.
• Therefore, air pressure inside the house is greater, which can raise the roof.

Explanation:
There’s a basic distinction between the pressure within flowing water and the pressure it can exert when its momentum is changed. The pressure that knocks one off his or her feet is due to the change in the water’s momentum, not the pressure within the water.
