Pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid and to the walls of its container. This principle is used in hydraulic system P 1 = P 2 (F 1 / A 1 ) = (F 2 / A 2 ) Can be used to derive large gain by making A 2 much larger than A 1 » F 2 = F 1 (A 2 / A 1 ) » Work done is the same: height by which the surface A 2 rises is smaller than the change in the height of surface with area A 1.

Suppose you float a large ice-cube in a glass of water, and that after you place the ice in the glass the level of the water is at the very brim. When the ice melts, the level of the water in the glass will:

Imagine holding two identical bricks under water. Brick A is just beneath the surface of the water, while brick B is at a greater depth. The force needed to hold brick B in place is:

A stream of water gets narrower as it falls from a faucet (try it & see). Explanation: the equation of continuity The velocity of the liquid increases as the water falls due to gravity. If the volume flow rate is conserved, them the cross-sectional area must decrease in order to compensate A 1 A 2 V 1 V 2 The density of the water is the same no matter where it is in space and time, so as it falls down and accelerates because of gravity,the water is in a sense stretched, so it thins out at the end.
An artery with cross sectional area of 1 cm 2 branches into 20 smaller arteries each with 0.5 cm 2 cross sectional area. If the velocity of blood in thicker artery is v , what is the velocity of the blood in the thinner arteries?
**1. 0.1 v
Wings and sails Higher velocity on one side of sail or wing versus the other results in a pressure difference that can even allow the boat to sail into the wind Water pressure/velocity at your house Velocity measurement
(a) Calculate the approximate force on a square meter of sail, given the horizontal velocity of the wind is 6 m/s parallel to its front surface and 3.5 m/s along its back surface. Take the density of air to be 1.29 kg/ m 3
. (b) Discuss whether this force is great enough to be effective for propelling a sail boat. Force, F = (P 1 − P 2 )A = 1 2 ρ(v 2 2 − v 1 2 )A = 15.3 N The force is small. However, when the sails are large, the force can be high enough to propel a sail boat. For larger boats, one can add more than one sail to increase the surface area. One can even sail into the wind, where (P 1 − P 2 ) is small.
