Thrust and Pressure
Category : 9th Class
Thrust
It is the force acting on the body perpendicular to the surface. Its unit is same as that of force. It is dyne in CGS system and Newton in SI system.
1 kgwt = 9.8 newton and 1 gm wt = 980 dyne
Pressure
It is the force applied normal to the surface per unit area. It is given by
Pressure \[(P)=\frac{Force}{Area}=\frac{F}{A}\]
The unit of pressure is \[N/{{m}^{2}}\] or pascal (Pa). 1 Pa = 1 \[N/{{m}^{2}}=10\,\,dyn/c{{m}^{2}}\].
Fluid Pressure
The pressure exerted by the fluid is called the fluid pressure. A fluid exerts pressure in all directions. Normally it exerts three types of pressure downward pressure, upward pressure, and lateral pressure.
Atmospheric Pressure
The pressure exerted by air on the surface of earth is called the atmospheric pressure. It can be measured with the help of an instrument called barometer. 1 atmospheric pressure is equal to 76 mm of Hg.
Pascal Law
It states that if a pressure is increased at any point inside the liquid at rest then it is equally transmitted in all directions of the liquid. This principle is used in designing the instrument like hydraulic press, Brahma press etc.
Buoyant Force
It is the force exerted in upward direction by the liquid on the object which is fully or partially immersed into the liquid. The property of liquid to exert buoyant force on the object is called buoyancy.
Archimedes Principle
It states that when a body is fully or partially immersed in a liquid at rest, it exerts an up thrust on the body which is equivalent to the volume of liquid displaced by the object. All the ships are designed on the principle of Archimedes principle.
Relative Density
We can compare the density of the substance relative to the density of the water at 4°C . The ratio of density of the substance to the density of the water is called the relative density.
Relative Density \[=\frac{\text{Density of substance}}{\text{Density of water}}\]
