Chapter 1 - Fluid Mechanics

leftover air

The ________ is pulled up in the test tube, creating a vacuum in the top of the tube.

Ρ

________ and V in the equation are that of the displaced fluid and NOT of the object.

vertical distance

H represents the ________ from the surface of the fluid to a point in the fluid were measuring for.

Friction

________ between a ball and the air makes air drag past faster on one side of the ball, creating a pressure difference that curves the trajectory.

total area of contact (typically between a fluid and an object)

Ais the ________

Bernoulli’s Equation

________ is an equation typically used to solve situations when a fluid is flowing from point to point.

Fluid

A ______ is anything that flows

Static Fluid

A _____ is a still fluid

Pascals Law

_____________ states that any pressure exerted on one point/surface of a fluid causes an equal increase in pressure at all points throughout that fluid

Barometer

A _______ is a device used to measure the pressure acting on the surface of a fluid

Dynamic fluids

____________ are fluids that are moving (fluid flowing through a pipe)

Volume Flow Rate

The ____________ is the volume of the fluid that flows past a certain point every second (units are m^3/s)
