By the end of this unit a successful student should be able to:
- Define pressure and gauge pressure and solve word problems involving each (10-3, 10-4, 10-6)
- Derive pressure’s relationship to height of a fluid column through its relationship to the weight of the fluid above (10-3)
- Relate Pascal’s Principle to the mechanical advantage of hydraulics (10-5)
- Describe Archimedes’ principle and solve buoyant force problems using it. (10-7)
- Derive Archimedes’ principle through density and pressure relations (10-7, notes)
- Describe the differences between turbulent and laminar flow (10-8)
- Derive/explain the continuity equation in terms of conservation of mass (10-8)
- Use the continuity equation to solve problems (10-8)
- Describe/derive Bernoulli’s principle in terms of energy conservation and work. (10-9)
- Qualitatively describe the effects of Bernoulli’s principle and use it to solve word problems (10-9)
- Derive Torricelli’s theorem as a special case of Bernoulli’s principle and use it to solve word problems (10-10)
