Hydraulics Prelims Identification
Unit weight is defined as the weight per unit volume
Piezometer is the simplest type of manometer
The resultant pressure on any plane in a fluid at rest is normal/perpendicular to that plane
Vacuum indicates the amount of negative gage pressures
Water is the least viscous of all fluids
Liquid is capable of flowing, have particles that can easily move, and can readily conform to the shape of solid with which they come in contact with
Specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the fluid to the density of water
Gage pressure is measured relative to absolute zero pressure
Viscosity determines the amount of its resistance to a shearing stress
Pascal’s Law indicates that at any point in a fluid at rest, the pressure is the same in all directions
