FLUID MECHANICS
DEFINITION OF FLUID
The term fluid refers to a substance that can flow and does not have a shape of its own. For
example liquid and gases.
Fluid includes property (A) Density (B) Viscosity (C) Bulk modulus of elasticity (D) pressure
(E) specific gravity
PRESSURE IN A FLUID
The pressure p is defined as the magnitude of the normal force acting on a unit surface area.
P =
F
A
The pressure is a scalar quantity. This is because hydrostatic pressure is transmitted equally in
all directions when force is applied, which shows that a definite direction is not associated with
pressure.
Thrust. The total force exerted by a liquid on any surface in contact with it is called thrust of the liquid.
Note :
The normal force exerted by liquid at rest on a given surface in contact with it is called thrust of liquid on that
surface.
The normal force (or thrust) exerted by liquid at rest per unit area of the surface in contact with it, is called
pressure of liquid or hydrostatic pressure.
If F be the normal force acting on a surface of area A in contact with liquid, then pressure exerted by liquid on
this surface is P = F/A

(3) At a point pressure acts in all directions and a definite direction is not associated with it. So pressure is
a tensor quantity.
(4) Atmospheric pressure : The gaseous envelope surrounding the earth is called the earth's atmosphere and
the pressure exerted by the atmosphere is called atmospheric pressure its value on the surface of the earth
at sea level is nearly 1.013 105 N/m2 or Pascal in S.I. other practical units of pressure are atmosphere, bar
and torr (mm of Hg)
1 atm = 1.01 105 Pa = 1.01 bar = 760 torr
The atmospheric pressure is maximum at the surface of earth and goes on decreasing as we move up into
the earth's
(5) If P0 is the atmospheric pressure then for a point at depth h below the surface of a liquid of density .
hydrostatic pressure P is given by P = P0 + hg.

(6) Hydrostatic pressure depends on the depth of the point below the surface (h). nature of liquid () and
acceleration due to gravity (g) while it is independent of the amount of liquid, shape of the container or crosssectional area considered. So if a given liquid is filled in vessels of different shapes to same height, the
pressure at the base in each vessel's will be the same, though the volume or weight of the liquid in different
vessels will be different.
(7) In a liquid at same level, the pressure will be same at all points, if not, due to pressure difference the liquid
cannot be at rest. This is why the height of liquid is the same in vessels of different shapes containing
different amounts of the same liquid at rest when they are in communication with each other.
(8) Gauge pressure : The pressure difference between hydrostatic pressure P and atmospheric pressure P0
is called gauge pressure.
P P0 = hg

Railway tracks are laid on large sized wooden or iron sleepers. This is because the weight (force)
of the train is spread over a large area of the sleeper. This reduces the pressure acting on the
ground and hence prevents the yielding of ground under the weight of the train.
A sharp knife is more effective in cutting the objects than a blunt knife.
The pressure exerted = Force/area. The sharp knife transmits force over a small area as compared to the blunt knife. Hence the pressure exerted in case of sharp knife is more than in case of
blunt knife.
A camel walks easily on sand but a man cannot inspite of the fact that a camel is much heavier
than man.
This is because the area of camels feet is large as compared to mans feet. So the pressure
exerted by camel on the sand is very small as compared to the pressure exerted by man. Due to
large pressure, sand under the feet of man yields and hence he cannot walk easily on sand.

if the pressure in a liquid is changed at a particular, point the change is transmitted to the entire
liquid without being diminished in magnitude. In the above case if P a is increased by some amount
than P must increase to maintained the difference (P P a) = hg. This is Pascals Law which
states that Hydraulic lift is common application of Pascals Law.

Density
In a fluid, at a point, density is defined as :
m dm
V 0 V
dV
(1) In case of homogenous isotropic substance, it has no directional properties, so is a scalar.
(2) It has dimensions (ML3) and S.I. unit kg/m3 while C.G.S. unit g/cc with 1g /cc = 103 kg/m3
(3) Density of substance means the rotio of mass of substance to the means the ratio of mass of a body to
the volume of the body. So for a solid body.
Density of body = Density of substance
While for a hollow body, density of body is lesser than that of substance [As Vbody > Vsub.]
(4) When immiscible liquids of different densities are poured in a container, the liquid of highest density will
be at the bottom while that of lowest density at the top and interfaces will be plane.
(5) Sometimes instead of density we use the term relative density or specific gravity which is defined as :

Density of body
RD = Density of water

Definition.
The atmospheric pressure at any point is numerically equal to the weight of a column of air of unit
cross-sectional area extending from that point to the top of the atmosphere.
At 0C, density of mercury = 13.595 g cm 3 , and at sea level, g = 980.66 cm s 2
Now P = hg.
Atmospheric pressure = 76 13.595 980.66 dyne cm 2 = 1.013 10 5 N-m 2 (p a)
Height of Atmosphere
The standard atmospheric pressure is 1.013 10 5 Pa (N m 2 ). If the atmosphere of earth has a
uniform density = 1.30 kg m 3 , then the height h of the air column which exerts the standard
atmospheric pressure is given by

In fact, density of air is not constant but decreases with height. The density becomes half at

which there is no atmosphere. Anyhow the atmosphere extends upto 1200 km. This limit is considered for all practical purposes.

i.e. p + y1 g = p a + y2 g
p p a = g (y2 y1) = gy

p = absolute pressure, p p a = gauge pressure.
Thus, knowing y and (density of liquid), we can measure the gauge pressure.

weight which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the body.

This relationship is valid in accelerating fluid also. Thus, the force acting on the body are :
(i) its weight Mg which acts downward and
(ii) net upward thrust on the body or the buoyant force (mg)
Hence the apparent weight of the body = Mg mg = weight of the body weight of the displaced liquid.
Or Actual W eight of body Apparent weight of body = weight of the liquid displaced.
The point through which the upward thrust or the buoyant force acts when the body is immersed
in the liquid is called its centre of buoyancy. This will coincide with the centre of gravity if the solid
body is homogeneous. On the other hand if the body is not homogeneous, then the centre of
gravity may not lie on the line of the upward thrust and hence there may be a torque that causes
rotation in the body.
If the centre of gravity of the body and the centre of buoyancy lie on the same straight line, the
body is in equilibrium.
If the centre of gravity of the body does not coincide with the centre of buoyancy (i.e., the line of
upthrust), then torque acts on the body. This torque causes the rotational motion of the body.
Floatation
1.
Translatory equilibrium : When an body of density p and volume V is immersed in a liquid of density , the
forces acting on the body are
Weight of body W = mg = Vg, acting vertically downwards through centre of gravity of the body.
Upthrust force = Vg acting vertical upwards through the centre of gravity of the displaced liquid i.e., centre
of buoyancy.

(2) Rotatory Equilibrium : When a floating body is slightly tied from equilibrium position, the centre of
buoyancy B shift. The vertical line passing through the new ecntre of buoyancy B' and initial vertical line meet
at a point M called meta - centre. If the meta-centre M is above the centre of gravity the couple due to forces
at G (weight of body W) and at B' (upthrust) tends to bring the body back body the meta-centre must always
be higher then the centre of gravity of the body.
However, if meta-centre goes CG, the couple due to forces at G and B' tends to topple the floating body.
That is why a wooden log cannot be made to float vertical in water or a boat is likely to capsize if the sitting
passengers stand on it. In these situations CG becomes higher than MG and so the body will topple if
slightly tilted.

Example 25. A cubical block of wood of edge 3 cm floats in water. The lower

fixed at the bottom of the pot. Find the maximum weight that can be
put on the block without wetting it. Density of wood = 800 kg/m 3 and
spring constant of the spring = 50 N/m. Take g = 10 m/s 2.
Solution :
The specific gravity of the block = 0.8. Hence the height inside water = 3 cm 0.8 = 2.4
cm. The height outside ater = 3 cm 2.4 = 0.6 cm. Suppose the maximum weight that can
be put without wetting it is W. The block in this case is completely immersed in the water.
The volume of the displaced water
= volume of the block = 27 10 6 m 3.
Hence, the force of buoyancy
= (27 10 6 m 3) 1(1000 kg/m3) (10 m/s 2) = 0.27 N.
The spring is compressed by 0.6 cm and hence the upward force exerted by the spring
= 50 N/m 0.6 cm = 0.3 N.
The force of buoyancy and the spring force taken together balance the weight of the block
plus the weight W put on the block. The weight of the block is
W = (27 10 6 m) (800 kg/m 3) (10 m/s 2) = 0.22 N.
Thus, W = 0.27 N + 0.3 N 0.22 N

Laminar flow : If the liquid flows over a horizontal surface in the form of layers of different velocities, then the flow of liquid is called Laminar flow. The particle of one layer do not go to another

In general av = constant . This is called equation of continuity and states that as the area of
cross section of the tube of flow becomes larger, the liquids (fluid) speed becomes smaller and
vice-versa.

Velocity of liquid is greater in the narrow tube as compared to the velocity of the liquid in
a broader tube.

Deep waters run slow can be explained from the equation of continuity i.e., av = constant.

When a fast moving train cross a person standing near a railway track, the person has a tendency
to fall towards the train. This is because a fast moving train produces large velocity in air between
person and the train and hence pressure decreases according to Bernoullis theorem. Thus the
excess pressure on the other side pushes the person towards the train.
