Indicating the normal force per unit area at a given point
acting on a given plane within the fluid mass of interest.

Consider the free-body diagram within a fluid mass.
In which there are no shearing stress, the only external
forces acting on the wedge are due to the pressure and the
weight.

Pressure at a Point
4/4
The pressure at a point in a fluid at rest, or in motion, is
independent of the direction as long as there are no
shearing stresses present.
The result is known as Pascals law named in honor of
Blaise Pascal (1623-1662).
7
Basic Equation for Pressure Field
To obtain an basic equation for pressure field in a static
fluid.
Apply Newtons second law to a differential fluid mass

= a m F
There are two types of
forces acting on the mass
of fluid: surface force and
body force.

Pressure Head in Static Fluid

The pressure p at any depth h below the free surface is
given by p = h + po
The pressure in a homogeneous,
incompressible fluid at rest
depends on the depth of the fluid
relative to some reference plane,
and it is not influenced by the
size or shape of the tank or
container in which the fluid is
held.

Example 2.1 Pressure-Depth Relationship
Because of a leak in a buried gasoline storage tank, water has seeped
in to the depth shown in Figure E2.1. If the specific gravity of the
gasoline is SG=0.68. Determine the pressure at the gasoline-water
interface and at the bottom of the tank. Express the pressure in units
of lb/ft

Example 2.2 Incompressible and
Isothermal Pressure-Depth Variations
The Empire State Building in New York City, one of the tallest
building in the world, rises to a height of approximately 1250ft.
Estimate the ratio of the pressure at the top of the building to the
pressure at its base, assuming the air to be at a common temperature
of 59F. Compare this result with that obtained by assuming the air
to be incompressible with =0.0765fb/ft

Example 2.2 Solution

Note that there is little difference between the two results. Since the
pressure difference between the bottom and top of the building is
small, it follows that the variation in fluid density is small and,
therefore, the compressible fluid and incompressible fluid analyses
yield essentially the same result.
By repeating the calculation, for various values of height, h, the
results shown in figure are obtained.
28
Standard Atmosphere
1/2
Standard atmosphere was first developed in the 1920s.
The currently accepted Standard atmosphere is based on a
report published in 1962 and updated in 1976.
The so-called U.S. standard atmosphere is an idealized
representation of middle-latitude, year-around mean
conditions of the earths atmosphere.

29
Standard Atmosphere
2/2
For example, in the troposphere,
the temperature variation is of
the form
T = Ta z
where Ta is the temperature at
sea level (z=0) and is the
lapse rate (the rate of change of
temperature with elevation).

Manometry
A standard technique for measuring pressure involves the
use of liquid column in vertical or inclined tubes.
Pressure measuring devices based on this technique are
called manometers. The mercury barometer is an
example of one type of manometer, but there are many
other configuration possible, depending on the particular
application.

Example 2.5 U-Tube Manometer

through a pipe can be determined by means of a flow nozzle located
in the pipes as illustrated in Figure. the nozzle creates a pressure
drop, p

p
B
, along the pipe which is related to the flow through
the equation , where K is a constant depending on the
pipe and nozzle size. The pressure drop is frequently measured with
a differential U-tube manometer of the type illustrated.

Mechanical and Electronic Devices
Manometers are not well suited for measuring very high
pressures, or pressures that are changing rapidly with
time.
To overcome some of these problems numerous other
types of pressure-measuring instruments have been
developed. Most of these make use of the idea that when
a pressure acts on an elastic structure, the structure
will deform, and this deformation can be related to the
magnitude of the pressure.
46
Bourdon Pressure Gage
Bourdon tube pressure gage uses a hollow, elastic, and
curved tube to measure pressure.
As the pressure within the tube increases the tube tends to
straighten, and although the deformation is small, it can be
translated into the motion of a pointer on dial.
Connected to
the pressure
source
47
Aneroid Barometer
The Aneroid barometer is used for measuring atmospheric
pressure.
The Aneroid barometer contains a hallow, closed, elastic
elements which is evacuated so that the pressure inside the
element is near absolute zero.
As the external atmospheric pressure changes, the element
deflects, and this motion can be translated into the
movement of an attached dial.
48
Bourdon Gage + LVDT
Combining a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) with a
Bourdon pressure gage, converts the pressure into an electric output.
The core of the LVDT is connected
to the free end of the Bourdon so
that as a pressure is applied, the
resulting motion of the end of the
tube moves the core through the coil
and an output voltage develops.
This voltage is a linear function of
the pressure and could be recorded
on an oscillograph or digitized for
storage or processing on a computer.
49
Hydrostatic Forces on a Plane
1/2
When a surface is submerged in a fluid, forces develop on
the surface due to the hydrostatic pressure distribution of
the fluid.
The determination of these forces is important in the
design of storage tanks, ships, dams, and other hydraulic
structures.

A pressurized contains oil (SG = 0.90) and has a square, 0.6-m by

FB is the force the body is exerting on the fluid.

For a submerged body, the

74
Archimedes Principle
For a submerged body, the buoyancy force of the fluid is
equal to the weight of displaced fluid and is directly
vertically upward.

Hiero II.

Example 2.10 Buoyant Force on a
Submerged Object
A spherical buoy has a diameter of 1.5 m, weighs 8.50kN, and is
anchored to the seafloor with a cable as is shown in Figure a.
Although the buoy normally floats on the surface, at certain times
the water depth increases so that the buoy is completely immersed
as illustrated. For this condition what is the tension of the cable?

77
The Line of Action of FB and C.G.
The line of action of buoyancy force, which may be found
using the method of hydrostatic force on submerged
surfaces, acts through the centroid of the displaced
volume.
The point through which the buoyant force acts is called
the center of buoyancy.
C.G: The body force due to gravity on an object act
through its center of gravity (C.G.).

78
Stability
Stability? Stable? Unstable?
A body is said to be in a stable
equilibrium position if, when
displaced, it returns to its
equilibrium position. Conversely, it
is an unstable equilibrium position
if, when displaced (even slightly), it
moves to a new equilibrium
position.
79
Stability of Immersed Body
The location of the line of action of
the buoyancy force determines
stability.
While C.G. is below the center of
buoyancy, a rotation from its
equilibrium position will create a
restoring couple formed by the
weight and the buoyancy force.
If C.G. is above the center of
buoyancy,..
80
Stability of Floating Body
The determination of
stability depends in a
complicated fashion on the
particular geometry and
weight distribution of the
body.

Rigid-Body Motion

Example 2.12 Free Surface Shape of
Liquid in a Rotating Tank
It has been suggested that the angular velocity, e, of a rotating body
or shaft can be measured by attaching an open cylinder of liquid, as
shown in Figure E2.12, and measuring with some type of depth gage
the changes in the fluid level, H-h

fluid. Determine the relationship between this change in fluid level
