Pressure at a Point
Pressure is the compressive force per unit area Pressure is the compressive force per unit area,
and if gives the impression of being a vector.
Pressure at any point in a fluid is the same in all
directions.

Variation of Pressure with Depth
In the presence of a gravitational
field, pressure increases with
depth because more fluid rests
d l on deeper layers.
To obtain a relation for the
variation of pressure with depth variation of pressure with depth,
consider rectangular element

Variation of Pressure with Depth
Pressure in a fluid at rest is independent of the p
shape of the container.

Fluid Statics
Fluid Statics
In fluid statics, there is no relative motion between adjacent
fluid layers.
Therefore, there is no shear stress in the fluid trying to
deform it.
The only stress in fluid statics is normal stress
Normal stress is due to pressure Normal stress is due to pressure
Variation of pressure is due only to the weight of the
fluid fluid
Fluid statics is generally referred to as hydrostatics when
the fluid is a liquid and as aerostatic when the fluid is a gas

Example: Galilean Thermometer
Galileo's thermometer is made of a sealed
l li d i i l li id glass cylinder containing a clear liquid.
Suspended in the liquid are a number of
weights which are sealed glass containers weights, which are sealed glass containers
with colored liquid for an attractive effect.
As the liquid changes temperature it changes q g p g
density and the suspended weights rise and
fall to stay at the position where their density is
equal to that of the surrounding liquid equal to that of the surrounding liquid.
If the weights differ by a very small amount and
ordered such that the least dense is at the top p
and most dense at the bottom they can form a
temperature scale.

Submarines use both static and dynamic depth
control. Static control uses ballast tanks
between the pressure hull and the outer hull.

body motion: linear acceleration and rotation of a cylindrical body motion: linear acceleration, and rotation of a cylindrical
container.
In these cases, no shear is developed.
