The results of exam 2 for a physics 2053 course, along with relevant concepts such as elastic moduli, pressure, density, buoyancy, and hydrodynamics. The average and standard deviation of exam scores, as well as solutions and grade distribution. Students are encouraged to review their exams and bubble sheets, and are reminded of upcoming homework assignments. Key physics concepts covered include the behavior of fluids under pressure, buoyant forces, and the equilibrium of floating objects.

Young’s Modulus:
Sheer Modulus:
Bulk Modulus:
Pressure:
force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object at any point if perpendicular to the surface of the object
Density:
Pressure vs depth
1.013 x 10^5 Pa
The pressure does not depend upon the shape of the container
Liquid in a U- tube
P (^) atm P (^) atm
h (^1)
h (^2)
P = Patm + ρgh 1 P = Patm + ρgh 2
h 1 = h (^2)
Pressure Measurements:
Barometer
Invented by Torricelli (1608 – 1647) A long closed tube is filled with mercury and inverted in a dish of mercury
Buoyant Force (will it
float?)
The magnitude of the buoyant force always equals the weight of the displaced fluid
The buoyant force is the same for a totally submerged object of any size, shape, or density
