vocabulary games for Chapter 11

AB
PressureThe force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted
paschala unit of pressure equal to the force of one newton per square meter
fluidany substance that can flow and easily change shape
Paschal's principlerule that when force is applied to a confined fluid, the increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid
hydraulic systemmultiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small suftace area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area
buoyant forceupward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object
Archimedes' principlerule that the buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid
Bernoulli's principlerule that a stream of fast moving fluid exerts less pressure than the surrounding fluid
symbol for pascalPa
force pumpcauses fluid to move from one place to another by increasing the pressure in the fluid
DensityMass of a substance divided by the volume
atomizerdevice that sprays fluids using Bernoulli's principle
