Hydrostatic Pressure
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1What is the process behind drinking with a strawWhen we suck the air inside the straw it reduces the air pressure inside it. The pressure at liquid surface is atmospheric while the pressure inside the staw is lower. Since, the atmospheric pressure pushes the liquid in the glass into the tube.
- 2UpthrustUpward force exerted by fluid on any object immersed or floating in any fluid
- 3What is shown by the Eureka can testShowing that the upthrust equal to the weight of water (Newton) that is displaced
- 4What is Archimedes principleWhen an object is partially or fully submerged in a liquid the upthrust is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the object.
- 5What is HydrometerApparatus used to measure the density of a liquid
- 6How objects a) sink b) fully submerge and float c) floata) Upthrust < weight
b) Upthrust = weight
c) Upthrust > weight
