Upper right: click on Ruler and Grid. Lower right: click on Fluid Density and Gravity to read these values. The pressure meter gives it in "kPa" or kilopascals. Note that 1 atmosphere "1 atm" is approximately 1.013E5 Pa = 101.3 kPa. 1.a. Record: density = ______ kg/m3, gravity g = _____ m/s2. 1.b Pressure meter records absolute pressure P = PG + g h, at its bottom point. Place its point just above the surface of the water. It reads, P = 101.3_ _ kPa (6 sig figs). Is this 1 atm? Yes/No. 1.c. Move meter to bottom, and just at this lower surface (see figure), P = ______ kPa (4 sig figs). 1.d. Calculate depth "h" from P = PG + g h, h = _______ m (4 sig figs). Is this very close visually to the depth given by the ruler (use depth = bottom surface - upper surface heights), Yes/No. Click Reset All. For the calculation in 1d, you will need to multiply all pressure meter measurements by 1,000 to have them in proper Pa units. Click on the middle icon (upper left) . Click only on Grid. Pascal's Law "the pressure everywhere at the same depth has the same value". Here, a vessel with 4 slanted sides, connected at its bottom. 2.a. Use the slider beneath the simulation to entirely drain all the water out. Use the pressure meter to measure the pressure "both sides, left and "right" at the bottom of the vessel. Both pressures the same? Yes/No. At both, P = 101.3_ _ kPa (6 sig figs). 2..b. Use the slider on the faucet handle to put a very low water level in (and stop) at about the level shown. Is the water seeking its own level "on left side and right sides"? Yes/No. Does the meter have the same value of pressure on left and right sides? Yes/No. 2.c. Continue filling with faucet handle until both sides are "as close as is possible" to 1.5 m deep (just as in the figure). Record the pressure value 0.5 m below the surface as is shown, right side P = ______ kPa (4 sig figs). At the same depth, left side P = ______ kPa (4 sig figs). 2.d. Record the pressure value at the vessel's bottom, right side P = ______ kPa (4 sig figs). At the same depth, left side P = ______ kPa (4 sig figs). Does this verify Pascal's Law? Yes/No. Click Reset All. Click on the right hand icon (upper left) . Click on Grid. Buoyancy. T1 = T2 + B B = mliq g = liq Vobj g T1 = mobj g f = obj / liq water = 1000 kg/m3 3.a. Bring the meter down to the water's surface (as shown, barely touching it). Record the pressure PG = 101.3_ _ kPa (6 sig figs). This should read as is shown. 3.b. Bring the meter down to the vessel's lower surface and record P = ______ kPa (4 sig figs). 3.c. Depth calculation, P = PG + g h, h = _______ m (4 sig figs). Here PG and P must be in Pa, not kPa. Bring the meter back up to the upper surface of the right container. Pick up the 500 kg mass, and drop it in the "water column on the left". Watch and it will "bob up and down" a bit as it settles. The water level has risen, and you can see this with the meter's tip on the right, it's just under the surface. 4.a. Bring the meter up to the water's surface (as shown, barely touching it). Record the pressure P = 101.3_ _ kPa (6 sig figs). This should read as is shown. 4.b. Bring the meter down to the vessel's lower surface and record P = ______ kPa (4 sig figs). 4.c. Depth calculation, P = PG + g h, h = _______ m (4 sig figs). Here PG and P must be in Pa, not kPa. 4.d. The upper surface of the 500 kg mass on the left, closely matches the height of the water's surface on the right. Does this imply that the object on the left has its upper surface at water level, that it is barely 100% submerged? Yes/No. If so, then "f" the fraction submerged, is f = 1.0. Given that f = obj / liq, does this imply that the object on the left has the same density as water (being barely 100% submerged)? Yes/No. 4.e. If the object had been lowered into the water with a cable, before entering the water, calculate T1 = ______ N. 4.f. If its density is the same as water, and its mass is as well, calculate B = mliq g = ______ N. Then, T2 = ____ N. Go to the next page
