Chapter 3 Pressure and Fluid Statics 

Pressure, Manometer, and Barometer 

3,.C Solution e are to iscuss the ifference !etween "a"e pressure an a!solute pressure.

 Analysis The pressure relative to the at(ospheri$ pressure is calle the gage pressure, an the pressure relativeto an absolute va$uu( is calle absolute pressure.

 Discussion Most pressure "a"es (lie your !icycle tire "a"e) rea relatie to atmospheric pressure, an therefore reathe "a"e pressure.

3,/C Solution e are to e/plain nose !leein" an shortness of !reath at hi"h eleation.

 Analysis 0tmospheric air pressure which is the e/ternal pressure e/erte on the sin ecreases with increasin"eleation. Therefore, the pressure is lo*er at higher elevations' As a result) the i##eren$e bet*een the bloo pressurein the veins an the air pressure outsie in$reases. This pressure i(balan$e (a! $ause so(e thin,*alle veins su$has the ones in the nose to burst) $ausing bleeing. The shortness of !reath is cause !y the lower air ensity at hi"her eleations, an thus lower amount of o/y"en per unit olume.

 Discussion 1eople who clim! hi"h mountains lie Mt. 2erest suffer other physical pro!lems ue to the low pressure.

3,3C Solution e are to e/amine a claim a!out a!solute pressure.

 Analysis No) the absolute pressure in a li0ui o# $onstant ensit! oes not ouble *hen the epth is ouble . Itis the gage pressure that ou!les when the epth is ou!le.

 Discussion This is analo"ous to temperature scales 3 when performin" analysis usin" somethin" lie the ieal "aslaw, you must  use a!solute temperature (4), not relatie temperature (oC), or you will run into the same in of pro!lem.

3,1C Solution e are to compare the pressure on the surfaces of a cu!e.

 Analysis 5ince pressure increases with epth, the pressure on the botto( #a$e o# the $ube is higher than that onthe top' The pressure varies linearl! along the sie #a$es. Howeer, if the len"ths of the sies of the tiny cu!e suspenein water !y a strin" are ery small, the ma"nitues of the pressures on all sies of the cu!e are nearly the same.

 Discussion In the limit of an “infinitesimal cu!e”, we hae a flui particle, with pressure  P  efine at a “point”.

3,2C Solution e are to efine 1ascal6s law an "ie an e/ample.

 Analysis  Pascal’s law states that the pressure applie to a $on#ine #lui in$reases the pressure throughout b!the sa(e a(ount. This is a conse7uence of the pressure in a flui remainin" constant in the hori8ontal irection. 0ne/ample of 1ascal6s principle is the operation of the hyraulic car 9ac.

 Discussion The a!oe iscussion applies to fluis at rest (hyrostatics). hen fluis are in motion, 1ascal6s principleoes not necessarily apply. Howeer, as we shall see in later chapters, the ifferential e7uations of incompressi!le fluiflow contain only pressure gradients, an thus an increase in pressure in the whole system oes not  affect flui motion.

Chapter 3 Pressure and Fluid Statics3,C Solution e are to compare the olume an mass flow rates of two fans at ifferent eleations.

 Analysis The ensity of air at sea leel is hi"her than the ensity of air on top of a hi"h mountain. Therefore, theolume flow rates of the two fans runnin" at ientical spees will !e the same, !ut the mass flow rate of the fan at sealeel will !e hi"her.

 Discussion In reality, the fan !laes on the hi"h mountain woul e/perience less frictional ra", an hence the fanmotor woul not hae as much resistance 3 the rotational spee of the fan on the mountain woul !e sli"htly hi"her than

that at sea leel.

3,4 Solution The pressure in a acuum cham!er is measure !y a acuum "a"e. Thea!solute pressure in the cham!er is to !e etermine.

 Analysis The a!solute pressure in the cham!er is etermine from

kPa68=−=−= &:;&acatma!s   P  P  P 

 Discussion e must remem!er that “acuum pressure” is the ne"atie of "a"e pressure 3 hence the ne"atie si"n.

3,5E Solution The pressure in a tan is measure with a manometer !y measurin" the ifferential hei"ht of themanometer flui. The a!solute pressure in the tan is to !e etermine for two cases$ the manometer arm with the (a)hi"her an (b) lower flui leel !ein" attache to the tan.

 Assumptions The flui in the manometer is incompressi!le.

 Properties The specific "raity of the flui is "ien to !e 5G < +.&=. The ensity of water at *&°> is ?&.: l!m@ft*.

 Analysis The ensity of the flui is o!taine !y multiplyin" its specific "raity !y the ensity of water,

3,23C Solution e are to efine resultant force an center of pressure.

 Analysis The resultant hydrostatic orce  actin" on a su!mer"e surface is the resultant o# the pressure #or$esa$ting on the sur#a$e. The point o# appli$ation o# this resultant #or$e is calle the center o pressure.

 Discussion The center of pressure is "enerally not at the center of the !oy, ue to hyrostatic pressure ariation.

3,21C Solution e are to e/amine a claim a!out hyrostatic force.

 Analysis Yes, !ecause the ma"nitue of the resultant force actin" on a plane surface of a completely su!mer"e !oy in a homo"eneous flui is e7ual to the prouct of the pressure  P ,  at the centroi of the surface an the area A of the

surface. The pressure at the centroi of the surface is   , ,    gh P  P    ρ += '  where , h  is the ertical istance of the centroi

from the free surface of the li7ui.

 Discussion e hae assume that we also now the pressure at the li7ui surface.

3,22C Solution e are to consier the effect of plate rotation on the hyrostatic force on the plate surface.

 Analysis There will !e no $hange on the hyrostatic force actin" on the top surface of this su!mer"e hori8ontalflat plate as a result of this rotation since the ma"nitue of the resultant force actin" on a plane surface of a completelysu!mer"e !oy in a homo"eneous flui is e7ual to the prouct of the pressure  P ,  at the centroi of the surface an thearea A of the surface.

 Discussion If the rotation were not aroun the centroi, there would  !e a chan"e in the force.

3,2C 

Solution e are to e/plain why ams are !i""er at the !ottom than at the top.

 Analysis Fams are !uilt much thicer at the !ottom !ecause the pressure #or$e in$reases *ith epth) an thebotto( part o# a(s are sub;e$te to largest #or$es.

 Discussion Fam construction re7uires an enormous amount of concrete, so taperin" the am in this way saes a lot of concrete, an therefore a lot of money.

3,24C Solution e are to e/plain how to etermine the hori8ontal component of hyrostatic force on a cure surface.

 Analysis The hori8ontal component of the hyrostatic force actin" on a cure surface is e7ual (in !oth ma"nituean the line of action) to the h!rostati$ #or$e a$ting on the verti$al pro;e$tion o# the $urve sur#a$e.

Chapter 3 Pressure and Fluid Statics3,25C Solution e are to e/plain how to etermine the ertical component of hyrostatic force on a cure surface.

 Analysis The ertical component of the hyrostatic force actin" on a cure surface is e7ual to the  h!rostati$#or$e a$ting on the hori"ontal pro;e$tion o# the $urve sur#a$e, plus (minus, if actin" in the opposite irection) the*eight o# the #lui blo$& .

 Discussion e coul also inte"rate pressure alon" the surface, !ut the metho iscusse here is much simpler anyiels the same answer.

3,26C Solution e are to e/plain how to etermine the line of action on a circular surface.

 Analysis The resultant hyrostatic force actin" on a circular surface always passes throu"h the $enter o# the $ir$lesince the pressure forces are normal to the surface, an all lines normal to the surface of a circle pass throu"h the center of the circle. Thus the pressure forces form a concurrent force system at the center, which can !e reuce to a sin"lee7uialent force at that point. If the ma"nitues of the hori8ontal an ertical components of the resultant hyrostatic

force are nown, the tan"ent of the an"le the resultant hyrostatic force maes with the hori8ontal is  H '    $  $  @tan   =α  .

 Discussion This fact maes analysis of circular-shape surfaces simple. There is no corresponin" simplification for shapes other than circular, unfortunately.

3,7 Solution 0 car is su!mer"e in water. The hyrostatic force on the oor an its line of action are to !e eterminefor the cases of the car containin" atmospheric air an the car is fille with water.

 Assumptions . The !ottom surface of the lae is hori8ontal. / The oor can !e appro/imate as a ertical rectan"ular  plate. 3 The pressure in the car remains at atmospheric alue since there is no water leain" in, an thus no compressionof the air insie. Therefore, we can i"nore the atmospheric pressure in calculations since it acts on !oth sies of the oor.

 Properties e tae the ensity of lae water to !e +''' "@m* throu"hout.

 Analysis (a) hen the car is well-seale an thus the pressure insie the car is the atmospheric pressure, theaera"e pressure on the outer surface of the oor is the pressure at the centroi (mipoint) of the surface, an isetermine to !e
