Absolute Pressure
Ideal Fluid
Gauge Pressure
Mass Density
Pascal's Principle
Buoyant Force
Objectives
1. Apply the relationship between pressure, force, and area and depth in a liquid.
2. Apply the principle that a fluid exerts pressure in all directions.
3. Apply the principle that a fluid at rest exerts pressure perpendicular to any surface that it
contacts.
4. Determine locations of equal pressure in a fluid.
5. Determine the values of absolute and gauge pressure for a particular situation.
6. Determine the forces on an object immersed partly or completely in a liquid.
7. Apply Archimedes’ principle to determine buoyant forces and densities of solids and liquids.
8. Students should understand the equation of continuity so that they can apply it to fluids in motion.
9. Students should understand Bernoulli’s equation so that they can apply it to
10. fluids in motion.
