How investigating a simulated fluid pressure water tank proves the relationship between the total pressure of a fluid and depth
Introduction:
The data collected while observing a simulated fluid pressure water tank allows the comparison of the dependency of the total value of Pressure (P) on a fluid to different test values for depth (h). Given that the simulation of a fluid pressure water tank allows for the input of multiple values, including different test values for depth (h), it is possible to determine the dependency of each value on the total value of Pressure (P).
An observer would notice that the total value of Pressure (P) is called the dependent variable because it will be the variable that may or may not depend on the change in another variable and is located on the y-axis of the graphs. The Pressure (P) may be calculated by the following equation: Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (a).
The effect of depth (h in meters) on the total pressure of a fluid (P in Pascals) may be calculated by the following equation: Pressure (P) = [(density (ρ) X gravity (g)] X depth (h) + atmospheric pressure (P
o
).

The accepted value for the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s

Pressure (P) vs. Depth (h)
h = Depth (meters)
P = Pressure (Pascals)
Data from the table, input into the graph, shows that when different test values for depth (h) are input into the simulator, the value for pressure (P) rises as the value for depth (h) does. Data from the table and graph also show that the slope of the “Pressure (P) vs. Depth (h)” graph is constant and forms a diagonal line. One may observe that values of the pressure of a fluid and the depth are directly proportional.
Data from the simulation screenshot allows an observer to view one of the 15 trials for different values of depth (h), and the resulting total pressure (P) value. One may observe that during the current screenshot of trial #8, the value of depth (h) was set to 1.6 meters (m) and the resulting value for total pressure (P) was 117,000 Pascals (P).

Final comparative analysis:
The equation: Pressure (P) = [(density (ρ) X gravity (g)] X depth (h) + atmospheric pressure (P
o
) allows one to observe how the effect of depth (h in meters) on the total pressure of a fluid (P in Pascals) may be calculated. One may observe the following calculations, of the first 4 trials of the experiment.
One may observe that the following calculations based on values of Pressure (P), from both observations
and strictly math calculations, show that all of the final values of Pressure are very similar.

One may observe that the formula for calculating experimental error is:
Percentage error = [(Actual value − Experimental value) / Experimental value] x 100
From the table, one may observe that the experimental percentages of error are very small in value, ranging from the lowest value recorded of 0.01% to the highest value recorded of 0.19%.
Conclusion:
The data collected while observing a simulated fluid pressure water tank allowed the comparison of the dependency of the total value of Pressure (P) on a fluid to different test values for depth (h). Given that the simulation of a fluid pressure water tank allowed for the input of multiple values, including different test values for depth (h), it was possible to determine the dependency of each
value on the total value of Pressure (P).
For the experiment, 15 different test values for depth (h) were input into the simulation to determine its
dependency on the value of the water pressure (P). Data from the table, input into the graph, shows that when different test values for depth (h) are input into the simulator, the value for pressure (P) rises as the value for depth (h) does. Data from the table and graph also show that the slope of the “Pressure (P) vs. Depth (h)” graph is constant and forms a diagonal line. One may observe that values of the pressure of a fluid and the depth are directly proportional.
Finally, one may observe that the formula for calculating experimental error, Percentage error = [(Actual value − Experimental value) / Experimental value] x 100, was used for each trial of the experiment. From the table, one may observe that the experimental percentages of error are very small in value, ranging from the lowest value recorded of 0.01% to the highest value recorded of 0.19%.
One might observe that this experiment shows a simple way to use a simulation to prove a physics point. However, since an electronic simulation was used to obtain the data, instead of obtaining them from a real-life situation, an improvement that could be made to this experiment would be to plan
and perform real-life tests and compare the results of each.

Question 1: Sally's pet lizard makes a weird groaning noise every couple of seconds. She
notices that the number of groans per minute is very regular, but increases as the temperature
increases. Further observations reveal that the number of groans per minute actually has a
linear relationship with temperature over the normal range of temperatures in the lizard's
natural environment. So she decides to make use of her lizard as a thermometer.
Sally measures that the number of groans per minute at 10.0°C is 12, and the number of groans
per minute at 45.0°C is 31. If she measures that the number of groans per minute in the lizard's
usual aquarium is 24, what is the temperature in the aquarium, in degrees Celcius? You can
check your answer using the Mastering Physics assignment.
Math tip: A linear relationship between two quantities X and Y, means that for a change in X
(which we usually call AX), the change in Y is given by AY = m AX, where m is some constant. In

A barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure and is filled with a high-density fluid. The pressure P measured by a barometer is the height of the fluid column, h, times the density of the liquid, p, times the acceleration due to gravity, g, or P = hpg. Find the height to which the liquid column will rise for pressures from 0 to 100 kPa for two different barometers. Assume the first uses mercury, with a density of 13.56 g/cm^3 (13,560 kg/m^3) and the second uses water, with a density of 1.0 g/cm^3 (1000 kg/m^3). The acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s^2. Before you start the calculation, be sure to check your units in this calculation. The metric measurement of pressure is a pascal (Pa), equal to 1 kg/ms^2. A kPa is 100 times as big as a Pa. Your answer should be a two-dimensional matrix. (use meshgrid)

2. Casson model was discussed in class in the context of blood rheology. This
phenomenological model is often used to describe the shear stress vs. shear rate relationship
in colloidal suspensions where particle aggregation might cause the measured viscosity to
increase at low shear rates. In an experiment, data for the shear stress and the applied
shear rate S were fitted to the Casson model written below (in a slightly different form
compared to that given in the lecture notes):
√t = √²₁+√as.
(1)
The best least square fit parameters to the experimental data were found to be 40 mPa for the yield
stress to and 2.5 mPa s for the parameter a, which is referred to as the plastic viscosity.
a. Using Eq. (1), derive an expression for the fluid viscosity u as a function of S.
b. Plot the viscosity of the fluid as a function of S for 0.1s¹ ≤S≤ 10 s¹.

Your professor has recruited you to work in her lab to help her win the Nobel Prize. It is critical that your work be as accurate as possible. Rather than using the stated volumes of glassware in the lab, you decide to calibrate each piece. An empty 10-mL volumetric flask weighed 10.263 4 g. When filled to the mark with distilled water at 208C, it weighed 20.214 4 g. What is the true volume of the flask?
