Statics of Fluids
F1-12: PASCAL'S LAW - COILED TUBE PARADOX
Category: F1 Pressure in Static Fluids
Purpose:
Illustrate Pascal's law in a dramatic way.
F1-11: HYDRAULIC PRESS
Category: F1 Pressure in Static Fluids
Purpose:
Demonstrate dramatically Pascal's Law and the large forces attainable using hydraulic systems.
F1-05: DOES WATER SEEK ITS OWN LEVEL?
Category: F1 Pressure in Static Fluids
Purpose:
A trick to challenge the students.
F1-04: EQUILIBRIUM TUBES
Category: F1 Pressure in Static Fluids
Purpose:
Demonstrate that pressure is transmitted equally throughout a fluid.
F1-03: PASCAL'S VASES
Category: F1 Pressure in Static Fluids
Purpose:
Demonstrate that pressure is dependent only on depth, and not on the shape of the container.
F1-02: FLUID PRESSURE VS DEPTH - ANEROID GAUGE
Category: F1 Pressure in Static Fluids
Purpose:
Show water pressure versus depth with an aneroid gauge.
F2-21 REACTION TO BUOYANT FORCE
Category: F2 Buoyancy
Purpose:
Demonstrates the reaction force using a liquid.
F2-01 ARCHIMEDES' PRINCIPLE
Category: F2 Buoyancy
Purpose:
Demonstrates the buoyant force on a body submerged in a fluid to be equal to the weight of the displaced fluid.
F1-06 WATER SEEKS ITS OWN LEVEL
Category: F1 Pressure in Static Fluids
Purpose:
Shows that pressure is dependent on depth, not shape of container
F1-01 FLUID PRESSURE VS. DEPTH
Category: F1 Pressure in Static Fluids
Purpose:
Demonstrates that fluid pressure increases linearly with depth and is isotropic.
