Fluid Statics Quiz

What is the formula for pressure in fluids?

• The formula for pressure in fluids is P = F/A, where P is the pressure, F is the force applied, and A is the area over which the force is applied.

• The formula for pressure in fluids is P = F/d, where P is the pressure, F is the force applied, and d is the distance

• The formula for pressure in fluids is P = F/V, where P is the pressure, F is the force applied, and V is the velocity

• The formula for pressure in fluids is P = V/A, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, and A is the area

What is the buoyant force?

• Buoyant force is the downward force exerted by a fluid on an immersed object.

• Buoyant force is the upward force exerted by a fluid that opposes the weight of an immersed object.

• Buoyant force is the force exerted by an object on a fluid when it is immersed.

• Buoyant force is the force exerted by gravity on an object in a fluid.

Explain Archimedes' principle.

• Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences a force equal to its weight.

• Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences a force equal to the volume of the fluid it displaces.

• Archimedes' principle only applies to gases, not fluids.

• Archimedes' principle states that a body immersed in a fluid experiences a buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.

What is the SI unit of pressure?

• Joule (J)

• Watt (W)

• Newton (N)

• Pascal (Pa)

How does the pressure change with depth in a fluid?

• The pressure remains constant with depth in a fluid

• The pressure decreases with depth in a fluid

• The pressure is unrelated to depth in a fluid

• The pressure increases with depth in a fluid according to the equation P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the depth.
