Document Summary

Phys101 - lecture 4 - gauge pressure, buoyancy, and archimedes" principle. When tire is deflated, the inside pressure inside a tire is p0 and pguage = 0. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the atmospheric atmosphere. Fluid pressure increases with depth; increased pressure is exerted in all directions. Higher pressure at bottom of objects results in a net upward force. The deeper the object is immersed, the more force is exerted on the object. When an object is fully / partially submerged: A) upward force is exerted on the object by the fluid. B) the magnitude of fbuoyant is equal to the weight of fluid displaced. Fb only depends on an object"s volume and the fluid"s density.

In a classroom demonstration, the pressure inside a soft drink can is suddenly reduced to essentially zero. Assuming the can to be a cylinder with a height of 10 cm and a diameter of 6.9 cm, find the net inward force exerted on the vertical sides of the can due to atmospheric pressure.

Find the gauge and absolute pressures in the balloon and peanut jar shown in Figure 11.16, assuming the manometer connected to the balloon uses water whereas the manometer connected to the jar contains mercury. Express in units of centimeters of water for the balloon and millimeters of mercury for the jar, taking $h = 0.0500$ m for each.

Figure 11.16 An open-tube manometer has one side open to the atmosphere. (a) Fluid depth must be the same on both sides, or the pressure each side exerts at the bottom will be unequal and there will be flow from the deeper side. (b) A positive gauge pressure $P_{g} = h ρ g$ transmitted to one side of the manometer can support a column of fluid of height h. (c) Similarly, atmospheric pressure is greater than a negative gauge pressure $P_{g}$ by an amount $h ρ g$ .The jar's rigidity prevents atmospheric pressure from being transmitted to the peanuts.

You are assigned the design of a cylindrical, pressurized water tank for a future colony on Mars, where the acceleration due to gravity is 3.71 meters per second per second. The pressure at the surface of the water will be 120 kPa, and the depth of the water will be 14.2 m. The pressure of the air in the building outside the tank will be 95.0 kPa. Find the net downward force on the tank's flat bottom, of area 1.50 m^2, exerted by the water and air inside the tank and the air outside the tank.
