Fluid Forces

Front

The upward force exerted by a fluid on a submerged object.

Back

buoyant force

Front

The rule that when force is applied to a confined fluid, the increase in pressure is transmitted equally throughout.

Back

pascal's principle

Front

The rule that states that a stream of fast-moving fluid exerts less pressure than the surrounding fluid.

Back

bernoulli's principle

Front

A system that multiplies force by transmitting pressure from a small surface area through a confined fluid to a larger surface area.

Back

hydraulic system

Front

An upward force.

Back

lift

Front

What is the equation for pressure?

Back

Pressure = Force / Surface area

Front

What happens to pressure as you go deeper under water?

Back

it increases

Front

Which direction does buoyant force always push?

Back

upward

Front

Car brakes and car jacks are examples of

Back

hydraulic systems

Front

The force exerted on a surface divided by the total area over which the force is exerted.

Back

pressure
