NEET : Physics [ 228 ] www.allendigital.in Digital Fluid Fluids are the substances that can flow or deforms. Therefore, liquids and gases both are fluids. Study of fluids at rest is called fluid statics or hydrostatics and the study of fluid in motion is called fluid dynamics or hydrodynamics. Fluid statics and fluid dynamics collectively known as fluid mechanics. The intermolecular forces in liquids are comparatively weaker than in solids. Therefore, their shapes can be changed easily. When external force (shear stress) is present, liquid can flow until it conforms to the boundaries of its container. Most liquids resist compression. Unlike a gas, a liquid does not disperse to fill every space of a container and it forms a free surface. The intermolecular forces are weakest in gases, so their shapes and sizes can be changed much easily. Gases are highly compressible and occupy the entire space of the container quite rapidly. Unlike liquid, gases can't form free surface.

Pressure and Pressure due to Liquid Column Pressure P is defined as the magnitude of the normal force acting per unit surface area. F P , A ⊥ = here F⊥ = normal force on a surface of area A SI UNIT : Pascal (Pa) ; 1 Pa = 1 N/m2 Dimensions : [ML–1T–2] Practical units : atmospheric pressure (atm), bar and torr . 1 atm = 1.01325 × 105 Pa = 1.01325 bar = 760 torr = 760 mm of Hg = 10.33 m of water 1 bar = 105 Pa ; 1 torr = 1 mm of mercury column = 133 Pa. Pressure is a scalar quantity. Illustration 17: A 50 kg girl wearing heel shoes balances on a single heel. The heel is circular with a diameter 1 cm. The pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor is (Take g = 10 m s–2) (1) 6.4 × 104 Pa (2) 6.4 × 105 Pa (3) 6.4 × 106 Pa (4) 6.4 × 107 Pa Solution: (1) Here, m = 50 kg, D = 1 cm = 10–2 m, g = 10 ms–1 Pressure exerted by the heel on the horizontal floor is 2 2 F mg 4mg p A (D/2) D = = = 2 2 2 4 50kg 10ms 3.14 (10 m) − − = = 6.4 × 106Pa A F
NEET : Physics [ 230 ] www.allendigital.in Digital Types of Pressures Pressure is of three types : (i) Atmospheric pressure (Po/Patm) (ii) Gauge pressure (Pgauge) (iii) Absolute pressure (Pabs.) (1) Atmospheric Pressure Force exerted by atmospheric column on unit cross-sectional area at mean sea level is called atmospheric pressure (P0). Po = 101.3 kN/m2 Po = 1.013×105 N/m2 Note: Barometer is used to measure the atmospheric pressure. (2) Gauge Pressure Excess Pressure over the atmospheric pressure (P–Patm) measured with the help of pressure measuring instruments is called gauge pressure. Note: Gauge pressure is always measured with the help of a "manometer". (3) Absolute Pressure :- Sum of the atmospheric and gauge pressure is called absolute pressure. Pabs = Patm + Pgauge Pabs = Po + hg Pressure due to liquid at depth 'h' m = mass of liquid element A = Area of cross - section of liquid element Since fluid is at rest P1A + mg = P2A P1A + (Ah)g = P2A P2 = P1 + gh Note: Pressure exerted by a same liquid at any point does not depend on shape and size of the container (it means quantity of liquid). It depends only on the height of liquid column. Pressure due to liquid, PA = PB = PC = PD Pressure due to liquid on a vertical wall of container Pressure due to liquid on a vertical wall is different at different depths, so average fluid pressure on side wall of the container is equal to mean pressure = gh 2 (h = height of wall) A B C D h h P2A P1A mg
