PRESSURE
● Pressure exerted by solid depends on
Area of contact
Force acting perpendicularly on the surface.(thrust)
P = F/A
UNIT IN S.I SYSTEM
Pascal (pa)
When a force of 1N acts perpendicularly on a surface of area 1m2
,then pressure on the surface is 1pa.
1Pa = 1N/1m2

Height of the liquid column
PASCAL’S LAW: Statement can be given in number of ways.
(i) The pressure exerted at any point on an enclosed incompressible liquid is transmitted equally in
all possible directions.
(ii) A change in pressure applied to an enclosed incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished
to every poit of the fluid and the wall of the containing vessel.
(iii) The pressure in a fluid at rest is same at every point if we ignore gravity.

EFFECT OF GRAVITY ON FLUID PRESSURE:
Consider liquid at rest in the container.
Imagine a cylindrical element of the liquid of cross-
sectional area A and height h
P₁and P₂ be the liquid pressure at the top and bottom
surface respectively
As the liquid is at rest,Resultant horizontal force
should be zero.
Various forces acting in vertical directions are:
1.Force due to liquid pressure at the top, F1 = P1 .A
acting downward
2.Force due to liquid pressure at the bottom F2 = P2. A
acting Upward
As the liquid cylinder is at rest,Total

= F2-F1 = W

P2 -P1 = h
Water /liquid pressure depends only on
depth of liquid column not on the shape of
the containing vessel.
In the given case all the three vessels have
same base area.Also height of liquid is
same.Hence pressure exerted in ll the three
cases will be same in spite of different
amount of liquid in different container.
10
ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE:
The pressure exerted by atmosphere is called atmospheric pressure.
The force exerted by air column of air on unit area of the earth's surface is called
atmospheric pressure.
The atmospheric pressure at se level is 1.013 x 10⁵Pa
MERCURY BAROMETER:
It is a simple device used to measure the pressure of a gas enclosed in a vessel.It consist
of a U tube containing some liquid. One end of the tube is open to the atmosphere and
the other end is connected to the vessel.
It is also equal to the work done in increasing the area of surface by unit amount.
Surface energy and surface tension are numerically equal.
ANGLE OF CONTACT:
Angle of contact is defined as the angle between the tangent to the liquid surface and solid
surface inside the liquid.
The value of angle of contact depends on :(i) Nature solid and liquid in contact.
(ii) Cleanliness of the surface in contact.
(iii) Medium above free surface of the liquid.
(iv) Temperature of the liquid. 17
ADHESIVE FORCE AND COHESIVE FORCE:
FORCE OF COHESION

molecules of same

substance. In second figure water is kept in a glass
tube. Here force of adhesion(between
water molecule and glass molecule) is
greater than the force of cohesion
between water molecule. Hence water
wets the surface.
18
A tube of very fine bore is called
capillary tube.

SOME EXAMPLES OF CAPILLARITY IN DAILY LIFE :
A blotting paper soaks ink by capillary action.
Oil rises in the long narrow spaces between the threads of a
wick.The narrow space acts as capillary tube.
Sap rises from root of the plant to its leaves and branches by
capillary action.
In 1st case water kept in
test tube,
Angle of contact is accute.
Liquid level will rise up
In 2nd case mercury is
kept in a tube.Angle of
contact is obtuse.Liquid
level will depress down.
The tip of the nib of a pen is split to provide capillary action
19
for the ink to rise.
RISE OF LIQUID IN A CAPILLARY TUBE:
r =radius of capillary tube
h= height to which the liquid rises in the tube
ρ= density of the liquid
θ = angle of contact between the liquid and glass.
R = reaction acting tangentially upward on the liquid
meniscus = T
The reaction R(=T) can be resolved into two
rectangular components:
T cosθ=Acting upward along the wall of the tube
T sin θ= acting perpendicular to the walls of the
tube.This component plays no role in raising the
liquid in the tube.
Only T cosθ is responsible for the liquid to rise up.
Total upward force acting = 2πr ×Tcosθ
Volume of liquid rising in the capillary tube = πr²h
+volume of the liquid below the meniscus
20
=πr²h+πr²×r- 2πr³/3 RISE OF LIQUID IN A TUBE OF
=πr² (h+r/3) INSUFFICIENT LENGTH:
Total upward force =weight of the liquid rising up
2πrT cosθ = πr²(h+r/3)ρg r= radius of the capillary tube.
h+r/3= (2T cosθ)/rρg T = surface tension of the liquid.
h= (2T cosθ)/rρg R = radius of curvature of liquid
r/3 is neglected in comparison to h meniscus
r= Rcos θ
NOTE: hα 1/r Therefore, height of the liquid
level rising up = h=(2T cos θ)/rρg
h=(2Tcosθ)/R cosθρg
h=2T/ Rρg
hR = 2T/ ρg = constant
In a tube of insufficient length ,
liquid rises to a height h’ such that
h’R’ =hR
Where R’ is the new radius of
curvature of the liquid.
22
VISCOSITY:It is the property of fluid by virtue of which an internal force of friction
comes into play ,when a fluid is in motion and which opposes the relative motion
between its different layers.
F = viscous force acting between two liquid layers.
23
COEFFICIENT OF VISCOSITY:
P and Q are two liquid layers moving with
velocity v and v+dv respectively.
According to Newton viscous force(F)
acting between them depends on :
(i)Proportional to Area of layers in
contact
(ii)Proportional to velocity gradient dv/dx
Fα A(dv/dx)
F = ηA dv/dx
η = coefficient of viscosity of the liquid

STOKE’S LAW:
According to Stoke’s law the backward viscous force acting on a small spherical body of radius r
moving with uniform velocity v through fluid of viscosity is given by F=6πηrv
DERIVATION OF STOKE’S LAW:
Viscous force F acting on a sphere moving through a fluid of viscosity η may depend on
(i) coefficient of viscosity η
(ii) radius r of the spherical body
(iii) velocity v of the body
Solving dimensionally we get F = 6πηrv
CONDITION UNDER WHICH STOKE’S LAW VALID:
(i)The fluid through which the body moves has infinite extension.
(ii) The body is perfectly rigid and smooth.
(iii) There is no slip between the body and fluid.
(iv) The motion of the body does not give rise to turbulent motion and eddies.
(v) Size of the body is small but it is larger than the distance between the molecules of the
28
liquid.Thus the medium is homogeneous and continuous for such body.
TERMINAL VELOCITY:
The maximum constant velocity acquired by a body while falling through a
viscous medium is called its terminal velocity.
When a smooth spherical body is dropped through a viscous medium, three
forces act on it. Those are
Gravitational force = weight of the body (acting vertically downward
=(4/3)πr³ρg
Upward thrust =(4/3)πr³σg
Viscous force = 6πηrv
Here ρ= density of the body
σ= density of the medium
η= coefficient of viscosity
R = radius of the body
v= velocity
When a body falls through a viscous fluid , it produces relative motion
between its different layers .As a result the body experience a viscous force
.At the beginning velocity of the body is zero.Hence viscous force is zero.
As the body goes down velocity started increasing.Viscous force started 29
increasing.
A stage comes where net upward force become equal to downward force. Net force on the
body become zero. Body started moving with constant velocity.Which is known as terminal
velocity (v).
32
Av =constant =equation of continuity
Equation of continuity states
that during the streamlined flow of non-
viscous and in-compressible fluid through a
pipe of varying cross-section product of area
of cross-section and normal fluid velocity is
constant.
At wider end flow of liquid is slow and at
narrow end it is fast. 33
DIFFERENT FORMS OF ENERGY POSSESSED BY FLOWING LIQUID: A liquid in steady flow
can have three forms of energy (i) kinetic energy
(ii) potential energy
(iii) pressure energy
Kinetic Energy: The energy possessed by virtue of its motion is called its kinetic energy.
K.E =( ½)mv² Where m is the mass of the liquid and v is the v is the velocity of the liquid.
Potential Energy:The energy possessed by the liquid by virtue of its position above the earth’s
surface is called its potential energy.
P.E = mgh, Where h is the height of the liquid from the ground level.
Pressure energy: Energy possessed by liquid by virtue of its pressure (p) .
Pressure energy of volume V =pV
Pressure energy per unit volume =P =Excess pressure. 34
BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE:
According to this principle
the sum of pressure energy,kinetic
energy and potential energy per unit
volume of an incompressible, non-
viscous fluid in a streamlined
irrotational flow remains constant
along a streamline.
Mathematically,it can be expressed as
P+½ ρv²+ρgh=constant
ρ₁= density of liquid at left end.
Proof:non viscous and incompressible h₁=height above the ground.
fluid is considered inside the tube. A₂ v₂ ρ₂and h₂ are corresponding values at section 2.
A₁= area of cross section of the tube at AS the fluid is incompressible ρ₁= ρ₂ =ρ (suppose)
right end. m= mass of the fluid entering the pipe in ∆t second=
mass of the liquid leaving the pipe in ∆t seconds.
v₁ =velocity of the liquid at left m= A₁v₁ ∆t ρ₁ = A₂v₂∆t ρ₂
end(section 1 ). A₁v₁ = A₂ v₂ 35
Change in Kinetic energy of the fluid= K.E at section 2 - K.Eat section 1
➢ Bernoulli’s equation has been derived on the assumption that there is no loss of
energy due to friction. But in practice ,when fluid flows some of their kinetic
energy gets converted into heat energy due to work done against friction.
➢ Bernoulli’s equation is applicable to incompressible fluid only.
➢ Bernoulli’s equation is applicable to streamline flow only.
➢ Bernoulli’s equation does not take into consideration the angular
momentum.Hence it cannot be applied when the fluid flows along the curved
path.
37
A₁ and A₂ are the cross sectional area of the side hole and the tank
respectively. v₁ and v₂ are are the liquid velocities at points 1 and
2 respectively.From equation of continuity we get
A₁v₁ = A₂ v₂ or v₂ =A₁v₁/A₂
As A₂>>A₁ so the liquid may be taken at rest at the top.
At the top v₂ = 0
Applying Bernoulli’s equation at points 1 and 2 we get
pₐ +½ ρv₁²+ ρgy₁ = p+ρgy₂
½ ρv₁² = ρgh + (p -pₐ)
v₁ = √[2gh + 2(p-pₐ)/ρ]
Special case:(i) when p>>pₐ then the term 2gh may be ignored.
v₁ = √2(p- pₐ )/ρ
(ii) When the tank is open to atmosphere then p = pₐ
v₁ = √(2gh )
38
VENTURIMETER:It is a device used
to measure the rate of flow of liquid
through a pipe. It is based on
Bernoulli’s principle.
Cross Sectional area of wider opening
at1 =a₁
Cross-sectional area at the narrow
neck at 2 =a₂
These two regions are connected by a U
- tube containing liquid of density ρ₀
v₁ and v₂ are velocities of liquid at
section 1 and 2 respectively. By
equation of continuity we can write
a₁v₁ = a₂ v₂
By Bernoulli’s equation
p₁ +½ ρv₁² = p₂+ ½ ρv₂²
40
OTHER APPLICATIONS OF BERNOULLI’S
PRINCIPLE:ATOMIZER OR SPRAYER
If the liquid has density ρ and is flowing
horizontally then from Bernoulli’s equation we
can write p₁+ ½ ρv₁² = p₂ + ½ ρv₂²
p₁ - p₂ = ½ ρ(v₂² - v₁² )
=½ ρν₁²[ (v₂²/v₁²)-1]
hρ₀ g =½ ρv₁²[(a₁²/a₂²)- 1]
By solving we get :
Q = a₁v₁ = a₁ a₂√( 2hρ₀g )/ρ(a₁² - a₂² )
