Fluid Pressure Chapter 12

A pascal is equal to 

• 1 m/N
• 1 kg/m
• 1 N/m2
• None of the above 

Instrument used  to measure air pressure

• thermometer
• barometer
• hydrometer
• manomater 

What happens to atmospheric pressure as a person goes higher?

• Pressure decreases
• Pressure increases
• Pressure remains constant 

Any substance that does not have a definite shape and the ability to flow.

• solid 
• fluid
• liquid

True or False: Pressure exerted on the bottom of a fluid filled container depends on the container shape.

• True
• False 

What is force per unit area?

• upward force
• pressure
• fluid
• density 

For water, it is 1.0 g/cm3?

• density
• fluid
• pascal
• buoyancy 

Unit of pressure in the SI system

• newton-meters
• pascals
• meters

mass X acceleration due to gravity

• weight
• density
• mass
• force 

A force is applied in a closed container, the pressure increases the same amount. EX: squeezing a water bottle or toothpaste

• Archimede's Principle
• Pascal's Principle
• Bernoulli's Principle
