 Atmospheric Pressure
sure, while the total pressure is termed absolute pressure. A barometer is used to measure total pressure while a manometer is used to measure the gauge pressure. With its applications rooted across aviation and other sectors, understanding this mechanical property of the fluid is essential.

Fluid Pressure
alar quantity and has no direction of its own. It acts perpendicular to any surface in the fluid. The following are the rules governing the determination of pressure with respect to the mechanical properties of fluids:

t the same horizontal level in the fluid is the same if it is at rest or moving with a constant velocity.
, the pressure difference between two points at different vertical levels is given by the formula:
at Point 1, P2= Pressure at Point 2, l = distance between two points, and a = acceleration.

Viscosity
a solid move through a medium, its motion is opposed by a viscous force depending on the velocity and shape and size of the body. This law is used extensively in studies of the mechanical properties of fluids.

Modern Physics
Electrochemical Series
Current Electricity Notes

Pascal’s Law
re applied to a closed fluid is transmitted undiminished to every portion of the fluid and to the walls of the containing vessel. It is used in various industrial applications. Its formula is given as:

F=PA
Where F = Force, P = Pressure, and A = Area

Archimedes’ Principle
body which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body. This force is known as the buoyant force. This force acts vertically against the weight of the body through the centre of gravity of the displaced liquid, known as the centre of buoyancy.

Source: Manocha Academy

The centre of gravity of the body and the centre of buoyancy must be along the same straight line, while the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed part of the body must be equal to the weight of the body.

Bernoulli’s Theorem
d flow of an ideal fluid, the sum of pressure energy per unit volume, potential energy per unit volume, and kinetic energy per unit volume is always constant at all cross-sections of the liquid.

Fluid Pressure, v = Fluid Velocity, ρ = Fluid Density, and h = Container’s Height

Mechanical Properties of Fluids Formulas

Here are the important formulas of this chapter-

The density of a sample at constant density: ρ=mV

ρ: density of the fluid
m: Mass
V: Volume
Pressure: p=FA
p: Pressure
F: Force applied
A: Area affected
The pressure at a depth h in a fluid of constant density: p= p0+ρgh
p: the pressure at height h
p0: the pressure at zero height
g: acceleration due to gravity
ρ: fluid density
Volume flow rate: Q= dV/dt
Q: flow rate
dV: change in volume
dt: time period
Viscosity: η=FL/vA
η: fluid viscosity
F: Force
L: distance between the plates
V: constant velocity
A: area of the plate

um when the metacentre lies below the centre of gravity (the centre of gravity is above the centre of buoyancy).
hen the centre of gravity coincides with the metacentre (the centre of gravity coincides with the centre of buoyancy).
