Today’s topics
• Pressure, density, and temperature• Ideal gas law• Archimedes’ principle & buoyancy force• Water pressure
4
Gases
• Consist of molecules (about 10-9 m across) thatbounce around
• They do not fall to ground because they havekinetic energy [(1/2)mv2 ]
• More kinetic energy means more temperature• Bouncing off the wall causes it to exert a force
(concervation of momentum; Newton’s III)
5
Pressure: bouncing off the wallsThe piston is free to
move. After the tinymolecule hits it, thepiston
a) shakesb) moves to the left at
constant velocityc) accelerates to the leftd) remains stationary
The piston moves to the left atconstant velocity, as it acquiredmomentum from the molecule(concervation of momentum).
6
Pressure: bouncing off the wallsThe piston is free to move.
Molecule after moleculehits it, the piston
a) shakesb) moves to the left at
constant velocityc) accelerates to the leftd) remains stationary
The piston accelerates to the left aseach molecule gives it moremomentum, meaning…..THERE IS A NET FORCE ON THE PISTON
7
Pressure: the force per unit area
• More area exposed to gas implies more collisions• More collisions implies more momentum transfer• More momentum transfer implies more force• Force = Pressure x Area• Pressure = Force/Area• Unit: 1 Pascal (Pa) = 1 N/m2
• Atmospheric pressure = 100,000 Pa = 105 Pa =14.7 lbs/sq. inch
8
Pressure is in all directions
• Water comes outwhether cork is ontop, side, or bottom
9
Mass density: mass per unit volume• Allows calculation of mass from volume• Mass = Density x Volume• Some common densities:
Water (humans and animals): 1000 kg/m3 (64 lbs/cubicfoot)
Lead: 11,400 kg/m3
Uranium: 19,000 kg/m3
Air: 1.239 kg/m3
• Squeezing air: more air in smaller volume, sodenser, more density
Mass density is denoted by ρ
10
Anything can form a density• Particle density: # of particles / unit volume• People density: # of people /unit volume• What is the people density in this room? (room is
~20mx15mx6m, class is ~200 students)
People density = number of people/volume of room200 people/1,800 m3 = 0.11 people/ m3
a) 0.05 people/m3
b) 0.1 people/m3
c) 0.5 people/m3
d) 1 people/m3
Mass density is denoted by ρ, number density by n
11
Pressure increases with density• Twice the molecules
means twice the collisions• Twice the collisions means
twice the momentumtransfer
• Twice the momentumtransfer means twice thepressure
12
Pressure increases with average kineticenergy [(1/2)mv2]
• More speed means morecollisions with the wall
• More speed and mass, moremomentum that each collisiontransfers to wall
• Pressure proportional to v xmv ~ mv2
• Pressure proportional totemperature
13
Ideal gas law
• Pressure proportional to density xtemperature (relative to absolute zero)Density: more dense means more molecules
hitting sides of wallTemperature: more temperature means
molecules hitting more rapidly, with moremomentum transfer
14
Ideal gas law
p ∝ n Tabsolute pressure(not pressure relativeto atmosphere)
absolute temperature(use Kelvin, not F or C!)
molecule density(number of molecules per unit volume)
“is proportional to”
Constant of proportionality: “Boltzmann’s constant”k = 1.38 x 10-23 J/K = 1.38 x 10-23 N m/K = 1.38 x 10-23 Pa m3/ K
p = n k T
Amazingly, k is a “universal” constant:it is the same for any species of gas.
15
Can you answer?• In higher temperature gases, the molecules move• A) faster or B) slower?• Does pressure push down as well as up?• A)True B) False• How does pressure relate to force?• A) F=mass x acceleration B) F=Pressure x Area• What is a Pascal?• What does mass density mean? Or any kind of density?• How does pressure change with mass density and
temperature?
16
Properties of the earth’s atmosphere• Earth radius = 4,000 mi• Atmospheric thickness = 4 mi• Less than one pixel on screen
17
Atmospheric pressure is due to weight of air• Force down on
separating membraneis weight of air above
• Manifestation ispressure
• Force up from airbelow is pressure tobalance
• Pressure is weight ofcolumn of air dividedby area
18
Pressure under water increases morerapidly as you go down
• Pressure is the weight of waterabove one square meter
• Weight increases as you go down• For each meter down, adding 1
cubic meter, or 1000 kg = 10,000N
• Each 10 m then add 100,000 N orone atmosphere!
19
Buoyancy: how ballons lift and ships float
• Archimedes principle: anobject in a fluid feels anupward force equal to theweight of the fluid itdisplaces
• Fluid falls down whereobject was
• Net weight = weight ofobject in vacuum minusweight of fluid havingvolume equal to that ofobject

Answer: E. Force is pressure times area:100,000 Pa x 1 m2 = 100,000 N/m2 x 1 m2 = 100,000 NA mass of 10,200 kg (10 tons!) exerts mg = 100,000 N

A. 50 NB. 500 NC. 5,000 ND. 50,000 NE. 500,000 N
Answer: B. 100,000 Pa x 0.005 m2 = 100,000 N/m2 x 0.005 m2 = 500 NNote: a mass of 51 kg exerts about mg = 500 N = 110 pounds.

Why don’t you feel 100 lbs of force on your palm?
A because you’re pushing back with 100 lbsB because it’s pushing on all sidesC because you’re used to itD because we’re strong
24
Why don’t you feel 100 lbs of force on your palm?
your hand
Air pressure is the same all around your hand ⇒ no net force*
100 lbs downward
100 lbs upward
*Actually, there is a net force on your hand--buoyancy (thepressure below your hand is slightly greater than the pressureabove); however, the buoyant force (in air) is negligible for objectsmuch denser than air. Keep watching for more on buoyancy.
25
The atmosphere exerts a force around 500 N on the palmof your hand, regardless of whether your palm is turnedupwards or downwards (or sideways).
Fluids exert the same pressure in every direction,because fluids flow when the pressure is different in different directions.

Calculating buoyancy forces
• To calculate force of a fluid on an immersed object:1. Find volume V of object (or of the part of the object
below the surface of the fluid).2. Find the weight of a volume V of the fluid ( mg = ρVg,
where ρ is the mass density of the fluid).3. The buoyant force of the fluid on the immersed object
is equal and opposite to the weight of the displacedfluid.
• Why? The force of the fluid on the immersed objectwill be the same as the force of the fluid on the fluiddisplaced by the object; that force is exactly equal tothe weight of the displaced fluid (because when thefluid was where the object is, it was not accelerating).
31
V is the volume of what?
• A the object• B the fluid desplaced by the object• C A and B
32
Calculating buoyancy forces• To calculate force of a fluid on an immersed object:
1. Find volume V of object.2. Find the weight of the same volume V of the fluid ( mg =
ρVg, where ρ is the mass density of the fluid).3. The buoyant force of the fluid on the immersed object
is equal and opposite to the weight of the displacedfluid.
Clicker Question :A brick has a density of about 2000 kg/m3.What is the net force on a brick of volume 0.001 m3 immersed in water? (for convenience, use g~10m/s2)
A. 20 N upwardB. 10 N upwardC. 0D. 10 N downwardE. 20 N downward
Answer: D. The weight of the brick is 20 N(downward); the weight of 0.001 m3
displaced water is 10 N. The buoyant forceon the brick is therefore 10 N upward. Thenet force on the brick is 10 N downward.The brick sinks.
33
Calculating buoyancy forces in air• To calculate force of a fluid on an immersed object:
1. Find volume V of object.2. Find the weight of the same volume V of the fluid ( mg =
ρVg, where ρ is the mass density of the fluid).3. The buoyant force of the fluid on the immersed object
is equal and opposite to the weight of the displacedfluid.
Clicker Question :A brick has a density of about 2000 kg/m3.Air (at room temp/sea-level pressure) has a density around 1 kg/m3.What is the buoyant force on a brick of volume 0.001 m3 immersed in air?(for convenience, use g~10m/s2)
A. 0B. 0.0001 N upwardC. 0.001 N upwardD. 0.01 N upwardE. 0.1 N upward
Answer: D. The mass of 0.001 m3 of displacedair is 0.001 kg; its weight is 0.01 N. Thebuoyant force on the brick is therefore 0.01 Nupward. The brick, which would weigh 20 N invacuum, appears to weigh only 19.99 N in air.
34
Buoyancy depends on mass density ofobject relative to mass density of fluid
• If object is less dense than fluid it floatsbecause the buoyancy is greater than thegravitational force
• Examples:Wood in water: floatsOil in water: floatsLead in water: sinks
35
Swimmers: you can float or sink dependingon the air in your lungs
• Humans are approximately neutrallybuoyant because they are made ofwater
• Jump in, at surface take in as much airas possible - float
• Now empty your lungs all the way - sink• Caveat: must not have clothing that
traps air bubbles

For Stationary Water,Pressure Changes with Height

Δh
weight = mg = ρV g = ρ (1 m2) Δh gThe pressure increase is theincreased weightdivided by the area:p2 = p1 + mg = p1 + ρg Δh
Water density: ρ = 1000 kg/m3
To support the weight of the above water, the water pressuremust increase by 10,000 Pa per meter depth(about 1/10 of an atmosphere per meter).

p2
Gravity
p2 = p1 + ρg Δhor
p2 + ρgh2 = p1 + ρgh1
(increasing h meanslowering p)
or
p + ρgh = constant
37
p + ρgh = constant
Important: the difference in pressures at two points within a staticwater column depends only on the differences in height of the twopoints. For example, water pressure increases by about 10,000 Pa(actually 9800 Pa) for every meter increase in depth (on the surface ofthe Earth), regardless of its container.Remember work done on body to move up a hight h.
Also important: this is true for water and most liquids; it is not true forair and other gases. Why?
The density ρ is not constant for gases.
For Stationary Water,Pressure Changes with Height
Kind of like “conservation of energy” for non-moving water:Pressure + gravitational potential energy = constant
Pressure is energy density (energy per unit volume)
38
p + ρgh + (1/2)ρv2 = constant
Kind of like “conservation of energy” for moving water:Pressure + gravitational potential energy + kinetic energy = constant
For Moving Water,Bernoulli’s Principle
Pressure is energy density (energy per unit volume)

Clicker question :a. Pressure in case 1 is larger than in case 2.b. Pressure in case 2 is larger than in case 1.c. Pressure in case 1 is same as in case 2.d. Pressures can’t be determined because thehoses are contorted into complicated shapes.
Answer: c. In both cases, the end of the hose is the same distancebelow the water level. The path and shape of the hose make nodifference (in the absence of viscosity, or fluid friction). GRAVITY IS ACONSERVATIVE FIELD; REMEMBER THE RAMP PROBLEMS

Clicker Question
Water streams out from three spigots in an open bucket. From which hole will the water emergetraveling fastest?
A
B
C
Answer: CThe water pressure increases with depth;a greater water pressure exerts a greaterforce on the water emerging from thespigot, causing greater acceleration,giving the water a greater exit velocity.
D. A, B, and C will spout water at the same speed
41
Note to Last Clicker QuestionThe acceleration of water as it emerges from aspigot is governed not merely by the pressureinside the bucket, but by the pressure differenceacross the spigot.

Review
• Pressure = Force / Area• Pressure of gases increases with density,
temperature (average kinetic energy)• Pressure increases with depth (both for
water and for air)• Boyancy force = weight of displaced fluid
