Upthrust ~ is the force caused by fluid pressure.
~ equals to weight of the fluid that has been displaced by an
object (Archimedes Principle)
W = mg
W=
Vg
Weight of block
= Vg
= (500) (0.2x0.2x0.2) (9.81)
= 39.24 N
Flows
- 2 types ~ Laminar (streamline) flow and Turbulent flow
- Laminar flow occurs at lower speeds and will change into
turbulent flow as velocity increases.
How does a hydrometer work?
Turbulent flow

The more viscous the fluid is, the harder it is for an object to
move.
Thus, viscosity is inversely proportional to rate of flow.
(through experiments)
With liquids,
Viscosity __________ with temperature.
With gases,
Viscosity __________ with temperature.
3. Stokes Law
Viscous Drag
~ the friction acting in a fluid which restricts movement.
- coefficient of viscosity, [
]
- the higher the viscosity, the slower it flows
Viscous drag, F = 6 rv
where r radius of sphere, m
coefficient of viscosity, Pa s
v
velocity of the sphere, ms-1
Terminal velocity
~ occurs when object is sinking (or falling) with constant velocity.
Therefore,
Weight = Uptrust + Viscous Drag
4. Changes of Viscosity with Temperature
In gases,
As temperature increases, air molecules vibrate more quickly (in
many directions) which results in the gas being harder to flow.
