PHYSICS 1321 CHAPTER 12 –FLUID MECHANICS 1. Density (ρ) Very important property of material , fluid or solid. 2 or more objects can have same density despite having different masses and volume if they are made of the same material. Mass per unit volume 3 SI unit : kg/m ρ=m/V 2. Pressure in fluid (p) It is the force exerted per unit area. The force exerted is perpendicular to any surface. Scalar Quantity SI unit : 1 Pa = 1 N/m 2 p=(dF)/(dA) 3. Pressure at depth in a fluid Pressure at depth is greater than pressure p whic0 is at surface p=p +0ρgh --------- (1)
