Fluid Statics Quiz

What is the study of the density and pressure of fluid at rest known as?

• Fluid Kinematics

• Fluid Mechanics

• Fluid Dynamics

• Fluid Statics

What is the unit of measurement for pressure?

• Joule

• Pascal

• Newton

• Watt

What is the formula for pressure in a fluid due to its weight?

• P = F/A

• P = gh

• P = Vg/A

• P = mg

What principle states that the pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally throughout the fluid?

• Bernoulli's Principle

• Pascal's Principle

• Archimedes' Principle

• Boyle's Law

What force pushes an object upward in a fluid against gravity?

• Tension Force

• Normal Force

• Buoyant Force

• Frictional Force

What is the formula for apparent weight of an object immersed in a fluid?

• Apparent weight = real weight / buoyant force

• Apparent weight = real weight x buoyant force

• Apparent weight = real weight - buoyant force

• Apparent weight = real weight + buoyant force

According to Archimedes' Principle, what force is an object buoyed up by when immersed in a fluid?

• Weight of the object

• Weight of the fluid displaced by the object

• Buoyant force of the fluid

• Frictional force of the fluid

What determines whether an object will float or sink in a fluid?

• The temperature of the fluid

• The size of the buoyant force only

• The weight of the object only

• The relative density between the object and the fluid
