PSCI Ch 14.2 / 14.3: Fluid Principles and Gas Laws

AB
FluidAny material that takes the shape of its container (Liquids and Gases)
PressureForce / Area
Buoyant forceThe upward force that all fluids exert on matter
BuoyancyThe ability of a fluid to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it
Archimedes’ principleThe buoyant force on an object is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by an object
Pascal’s principleThe pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted equally and unchanged throughout the fluid
HydraulicsThe science of applying Pascal’s principle
Bernoulli’s PrincipleAs the speed of a moving fluid increases, its pressure decreases
Boyle’s LawIf you decrease the volume of a container of gas and hold the temperature constant, the pressure will increase, or vice versa
Charles’s LawThe volume of a gas increases with increasing temperature, as long as the pressure on the gas does not change
ViscosityResistance to flowing
