Hydrostatic Equilibrium
• Pressure differences drive fluid flow
• If a fluid is in equilibrium, pressure forces must balance
• Pascal’s law: pressure change is transmitted through a fluid

Archimedes’ Principle and Buoyancy
Why do some things float and other things sink ?
Archimedes’ Principle and Buoyancy
➢ A body at rest in a fluid is acted upon by a force pushingupward called the buoyant force, which is equal to theweight of the fluid that the body displaces.
➢ If the body is completely submerged, the volume offluid displaced is equal to the volume of the body.
➢ If the body is only partially submerged, the volume ofthe fluid displaced is equal to the volume of the part ofthe body that is submerged.
Archimedes’ Principle and Buoyancy
The Buoyant Force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid !
𝐹𝐵 = 𝑚𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑔 = 𝜌𝑤𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑉𝑔
𝑊 = 𝑚𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑑 𝑔 = 𝜌𝑠𝑜𝑙𝑖𝑑𝑉𝑔
Objects immersed in a fluid experience a Buoyant Force!

Dimensional Analysis
What is Dimensional Analysis?
• Have you ever used a map?
• Since the map is a small-scale representation of a large area, there is a scale that you can use to convert from small-scale units to large-scale units—for example, going from inches to miles or from cm to km.
What is Dimensional Analysis?
Ex: 3 cm = 50 km
What is Dimensional Analysis?
• Have you ever been to a foreign country?
• One of the most important things to do when visiting another country is to exchange currency.
• For example, one United States dollar equals 1509.7 Lebanese Pounds. (9/29/17)
What is Dimensional Analysis?
• Whenever you use a map or exchange currency, you are utilizing the scientific method of dimensional analysis.
• Dimensional analysis is a problem-solving method that uses fractions to cancel units.
• It is used to go from one unit to another.
How Does Dimensional Analysis Work?• A conversion factor, or a fraction that is equal to
one (numerator equals the denominator), is used, along with what you’re given, to determine what the new unit will be.

Dimensional Homogeneity
• What do we mean by “dimensionallyhomogeneous?”
Can you, say, add someone’s height who is 6 feet tallto his weight of 185 lbf and his body temperature of98F?! Of course not!
Dimensional Homogeneity (Example 6.3 )
• For Equation 6.1 to be dimensionally homogeneous, the units on the left-hand side of the equation must equal the units on the right-hand side. This equality requires the modulus of elasticity to have the units of N/m2, as follows:

Numerical versus Symbolic Solutions
➢When you take your engineering classes, you need to be aware oftwo important things:
(1) understanding the basic concepts and principles associated withthat class
(2)how to apply them to solve real physical problems (situations)
➢Homework problems in engineering typically require either anumerical or a symbolic solution.
➢ For problems that require numerical solution, data is given. Incontrast, in the symbolic solution, the steps and the final answerare presented with variables that could be substituted with data.
Numerical versus Symbolic Solutions (Example 6.4)
• Determine the load that can be lifted by the hydraulic systemshown. All of the necessary information is shown in the Figure.
Numerical versus Symbolic Solutions (Example 6.4)
➢Numerical Solution:
We start by making use of the given data and substitutingthem into appropriate equations as follows.
Numerical versus Symbolic Solutions (Example 6.4)
➢Symbolic Solution:
For this problem, we could start with the equation that relatesF2 to F1, and then simplify the similar quantities such as p andg in the following manner:
Significant Digits (Figures)
• One half of the smallest scale division commonly is calledthe least count of the measuring instrument.
• For example, referring to Figure 6.4, it should be clear thatthe least count for the thermometer is 1F (the smallestdivision is 2F), for the ruler is 0.05 in., and for the pressuregage is 0.5 inches of water.
• Therefore, using the given thermometer, it would beincorrect to record the air temperature as 71.25F and lateruse this value to carry out other calculations. Instead, itshould be recorded as 71 1F.
• This way, you are telling the reader or the user of yourmeasurement that the temperature reading falls between 70Fand 72F.

• Significant digits are numbers zero through nine.However, when zeros are used to show the position of adecimal point, they are not considered significant digits.
• For example, each of the following numbers 175, 25.5,1.85, and 0.00125 has three significant digits. Note thezeros in number 0.00125 are not considered as significantdigits, since they are used to show the position of thedecimal point

• The number of significant digits for the number 1500 is notclear. It could be interpreted as having two, three, or foursignificant digits based on what the role of the zeros is.
• In this case, if the number 1500 was expressed by 1.5 *10^3,15*10^2, or 0.015 *10^5, it would be clear that it has twosignificant digits. By expressing the number using the powerof ten, we can make its accuracy more clear.
• However, if the number was initially expressed as 1500.0, thenit has four significant digits and would imply that the accuracyof the number is known to 1/10000.
