It is the same any particular depth
in liquid contained in vessels of
different sizes or shape.

10. 1. Pascal’s Principle
The pressure applied at
any given point on a
confined fluid is
transmitted undiminished
throughout the fluid.
Application
11. 1. Pascal’s Principle
The pressure applied at any given point
on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished
throughout the fluid.
Application
This is much
better!

15. Buoyancy
The fluid always go from high
pressure area to low pressure
area
What will happen if the train passes on
your side?
Lower velocity
Higher pressure
Higher velocity
Lower pressure
17. 3. Archimedes’ Principle
A body partly or entire submerged
in a fluid is buoyed up by a force
equal in magnitude to the weight of
the displaced fluid.
BF = Wair - Wwater
BF = Wfluid displaced
18. Problems
1. An 80 kg metal cylinder 2m long and with each
end of area 25 cm2
stands vertically on one end.
What pressure does the cylinder exert on the
floor?
2. A piston of cross-sectional area "a" is used in
a hydraulic press to exert a small force of
magnitude "f" on the enclosed liquid. A
connecting pipe leads to a larger piston of cross-
sectional area A. If the piston diameters are 3.80
cm and 53.0 cm, what force magnitude on the
small piston will balance a 20.0 kN force on the
large piston?
19. Problems
3. What is the maximum weight a solid, square,
pinewood raft measuring 4.0 m on a side and
0.30 m thick support and still float in water? How
much weight can we add in the raft so that it can
still float? ρwood = 420 kg/m3
4. A solid aluminum cylinder, ρ = 2700 kg/m3
weighs 0.067 kg in air and 0.045 kg in turpentine.
Determine the density of the turpentine.
