A tall graduated cylinder contains 7 cm of oil (density of 825 kg/m3kg/m3) on top of 20 cm of water (density of 1000 kg/m3kg/m3). The cylinder is open to the air. What is the pressure in the water, 3 cm above the bottom of the cylinder? (in Pa) 1.0323×105 1.0335×105 1.0353×105 1.0294×105 1.0157×105
Viscosity
The measure of the resistance of a fluid to flow is known as viscosity. Most fluids have some resistance to motion, the resistance provided by the fluid is called viscosity. This resistance is created by the force of attraction between the fluid molecules. If you pour water through a funnel, it flows easily and quickly, because it has very little resistance. But if you pour honey through a funnel, it may take a little time longer, as the density of honey is high.
Poiseuille's Law
The law of Poiseuille or Poiseuille's equation states that the pressure drop of an incompressible fluid especially a liquid in a laminar flow that passes through a cylindrical tube of length L, radius r, pressure gradient ΔP, and mainly depends on the viscosity of the fluid is nothing but the pressure difference of the layers of fluids. ΔP=P1-P2
Drag Forces
Forces that occur due to the movement of fluid are known as fluid mechanics. Following are the fluids present:
A tall graduated cylinder contains 7 cm of oil (density of 825 kg/m3kg/m3) on top of 20 cm of water (density of 1000 kg/m3kg/m3). The cylinder is open to the air. What is the pressure in the water, 3 cm above the bottom of the cylinder? (in Pa)
