FLUID STATICS
Hydrostatics is the study of pressures throughout a fluid at rest and the pressure forces on finite surfaces. As the fluid is at rest, there are no shear stresses in it. Hence the pressure at a point on a plane surface always acts normal to the surface, and all forces are independent of viscosity. The pressure variation is due only to the weight of the fluid. As a result, the controlling laws are relatively simple, and analysis is based on a straightforward application of the mechanical principles of force and moment. Solutions are exact and there is no need to have recourse to experiment.

Pressure
Pressure is defined as a normal force exerted by a fluid per unit area(even imaginary surfaces as in a control volume).
Units of pressure are N/m2, which is called a pascal (Pa). Since the unit Pa is too small for pressures encountered in practice, kilopascal (1 kPa = 103 Pa) and megapascal (1 MPa = 106 Pa) are commonly used. [ML-1T-2]Other units include bar, atm, kgf/cm2, lbf/in2=psi.

1 bar = 105 Pa = 0.1 MPa = 100 kPa
1 atm = 101,325 Pa = 101.325 kPa = 1.01325 bars
1 kgf/cm2 = 9.807 N/cm2 = 9.807 104 N/m2 = 9.807 104 Pa = 0.9807 bar = 0.9679 atm
1 atm = 14.696 psi.
1 kgf/cm2 = 14.223 psi.

Pressure at a Point
By considering the equilibrium of a small triangular wedge of fluid extracted from a static fluid body, one can show that for any wedge angle θ, the pressures on the three faces of the wedge are equal in magnitude:

Pressure at a Point
Pressure at any point in a fluid is the same in all directions.
Pressure has a magnitude, but not a specific direction, and thus it is a scalar quantity.

Pressure at a Point
This result is known as Pascal's law, which states that the pressure at a point in a fluid at rest, or in motion, is independent of direction as long as there are no shear stresses present.
Pressure at a point has the same magnitude in all directions, and is called isotropic .

Variation of Pressure with Depth
Therefore, the hydrostatic pressure increases linearly with depth at the rate of the specific weight of the fluid.

Variation of Pressure with Depth
In the presence of a gravitational field, pressure increases with depth because more fluid rests on deeper layers.
To obtain a relation for the variation of pressure with depth, consider rectangular element

Variation of Pressure with Depth
Pressure in a fluid at rest is independent of the shape of the container.
Pressure is the same at all points on a horizontal plane in a given fluid.

Absolute, gage, and vacuum pressures
Actual pressure at a given point is called the absolute pressure.
Most pressure-measuring devices are calibrated to read zero in the atmosphere, and therefore indicate gage pressure, Pgage = Pabs - Patm.
Pressure below atmospheric pressure are called vacuum pressure, Pvac=Patm - Pabs.

Hydrostatic Pressure Difference Between Two Points
For a fluid with constant density,
If you can draw a continuous line through the same fluid from point 1 to point 2, then p1 = p2 if z1 = z2.
•By this rule p1 = p2 and p4 = p5
•p2 does not equal p3 even though they are at the same elevation, because one cannot draw a line connecting these points through the same fluid. In fact, p2 is less than p3 since mercury is denser than water.

Pressure Measurement and Manometers
Piezometer tube The simplest manometer is a tube, open at the top, which is attached to a vessel or a pipe containing liquid at a pressure (higher than atmospheric) to be measured. This simple device is known as a piezometer tube.
This method can only be used for liquids (i.e. not for gases) and only when the liquid height is convenient to measure. It must not be too small or too large and pressure changes must be detectable.

Pressure Measurement and Manometers
U-tube manometer This device consists of a glass tube bent into the shape of a "U", and is used to measure some unknown pressure. For example, consider a U-tube manometer that is used to measure pressure pA in some kind of tank or machine.
Finally, note that in many cases (such as with air pressure being measured by a mercury manometer), the density of manometer fluid 2 is much greater than that of fluid 1. In such cases, the last term on the right is sometimes neglected.

Pressure Measurement and Manometers
Inclined-tube manometerAs shown above, the differential reading is proportional to the pressure difference. If the pressure difference is very small, the reading may be too small to be measured with good accuracy. To increase the sensitivity of the differential reading, one leg of the manometer can be inclined at an angle θ, and the differential reading is measured along the inclined tube.

Pressure Measurement and Manometers
An elevation change of z in a fluid at rest corresponds to P/g.A device based on this is called a manometer.A manometer consists of a U-tube containing one or more fluids such as mercury, water, alcohol, or oil.Heavy fluids such as mercury are used if large pressure differences are anticipated.1 2

For multi-fluid systems
Pressure change across a fluid column of height h is P = gh.
Pressure increases downward, and decreases upward.
Two points at the same elevation in a continuous fluid are at the same pressure.
Pressure can be determined by adding and subtracting gh terms.

Example:U-tube manometer containing mercury was used to find the negative pressure in the pipe, containing water. The right limb was open to the atmosphere. Find the vacuum pressure in the pipe, if the difference of mercury level in the two limbs was 100 mm and height of water in the left limb from the centre of the pipe was found to be 40 mm below.

The Barometer
Atmospheric pressure is measured by a device called a barometer; thus, atmospheric pressure is often referred to as the barometric pressure.
PC can be taken to be zero since there is only Hg vapor above point C, and it is very low relative to Patm. Change in atmospheric pressure due to elevation has many effects: Cooking, nose bleeds, engine performance, aircraft performance.

Standard atmosphere is defined as the pressure produced by a column of mercury 760 mm (29.92 inHg
or of water about 10.3 m ) in height at 0°C (Hg = 13,595 kg/m3) under standard gravitational acceleration (g = 9.807 m/s2).
1 atm = 760 torr and 1 torr = 133.3 Pa

Fluid Statics
Fluid Statics deals with problems associated with fluids at rest. In fluid statics, there is no relative motion between adjacent fluid layers. Therefore, there is no shear stress in the fluid trying to deform it. The only stress in fluid statics is normal stress
Normal stress is due to pressureVariation of pressure is due only to the weight of the fluid → fluid statics is only relevant in presence of gravity fields.
Applications: Floating or submerged bodies, water dams and gates, liquid storage tanks, etc.

Example: Hydrostatic Force Acting on the
Door of a Submerged CarA heavy car plunges into a lake during an accident and lands at the bottom of the lake on its wheels. The door is 1.2 m high and 1 m wide,and the top edge of the door is 8 m below the free surface of the water.Determine the hydrostatic force on the door and the location of the pressure center, and discuss if the driver can open the door.

Discussion A strong person can lift 100 kg, whose weight is 981 N or about 1 kN. Also, the person can apply the force at a point farthest from the hinges (1 m farther) for maximum effect and generate a moment of 1 kN · m. The resultant hydrostatic force acts under the midpoint of the door, and thus a distance of 0.5 m from the hinges. This generates a moment of 50.6 kN · m, which is about 50 times the moment the driver can possibly generate. Therefore, it is impossible for the driver to open the door of the car. The driver’s best bet is to let some water in (by rolling the window down a little, for example) and to keep his or her head close to the ceiling. The driver should be able to open the door shortly before the car is filled with water since at that point the pressures on both sides of the door are nearly the same and opening the door in water is almost as easy as opening it in air.

The space above the surface ADCB may be empty or contain other fluid.
Imagine that the space (ADCB) vertically above the curved surface is occupied with the same fluid as that below it (disregard what actually is filling that space). Then the surface AB could be removed without disrupting the equilibrium of the fluid. That means, the force acting on the underside of the surface would be balanced by that acting on the upper side under this imaginary condition.

Buoyancy and Stability
EGGD3109 Fluid Mechanics
Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force has a magnitude equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body and is directed vertically upward.
•Buoyant force is a force that results from a floating or submerged body in a fluid.•The force results from different pressures on the top and bottom of the object•The pressure forces acting from below are greater than those on top
Now, treat an arbitrary submerged object as a planar surface:

Then, substituting:
Simplifying,
The force of the fluid on the body is opposite, or vertically upward and is known as the Buoyant Force.The force is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.

We find that the buoyant force acts through the centroid of the displaced volume.
The location is known as the center of buoyancyThe location is known as the center of buoyancy.

We can apply the same principles to floating objects:
If the fluid acting on the upper surfaces has very small specific weight (air), the centroid is simply that of the displaced volume, and the buoyant force is as before.

Buoyancy force FB is equal only to the displaced volume fgVdisplaced.
Three scenarios possible
1. body<fluid: Floating body
. body=fluid: Neutrally buoyant
3. body>fluid: Sinking body

Stability
What about a case where the ball is on an inclined floor?
It is not really appropriate to discuss stability for this case since the ball is not in a state of equilibrium. In other words, it cannot be at rest and would roll down the hill even without any disturbance.

Stable Equilibrium: if when displaced returns to equilibrium position.
Unstable Equilibrium: if when displaced it returns to a new equilibrium position.
Stable Equilibrium: Unstable Equilibrium:
C > CG, “Higher” C < CG, “Lower”

Stability of Immersed Bodies
Rotational stability of immersed bodies depends upon relative location of center of gravity G and center of buoyancy B.
G below B: stable
G above B: unstable
G coincides with B: neutrally stable.

Stability of Floating Bodies
If body is bottom heavy (G lower than B), it is always stable.
Floating bodies can be stable when G is higher than B due to shift in location of center buoyancy and creation of restoring moment.
Measure of stability is the metacentric height GM. If GM>1, ship is stable.
The metacenter may be considered to be a fixed point for most hull shapes for small rolling angles up to about 20°.

The Golden Crown of Hiero II, King of Syracuse
The weight of the crown and nugget are the same in air: Wc = cVc = Wn = nVn.If the crown is pure gold, c=n which means that the volumes must be the same, Vc=Vn.In water, the buoyancy force is B=H2OV.If the scale becomes unbalanced, this implies that the Vc ≠ Vn, which in turn means that the c ≠ n
Goldsmith was shown to be a fraud!
