Fluid Pressure

The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.

Gauge Pressure

Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.

Question

A cylindrical cork (area A, length L, density pc) is floating in a liquid of density pw with only a part of
its length L submerged in the liquid. If the cork is pushed down by a small distance x, and then let go,
the cork starts bobbing up and down in a simple harmonic motion.
We wish to find the frequency fat which the cork is moving up and down.
Let d be the depth of the cork at a certain time t (see figure) and let do be the depth when the cork is
in equilibrium (i.e. not bobbing).

Find the equation of simple harmonic motion for a spring mass system where the mass is hanging off the ceiling with the help of a spring if the initial displacement is 1 ft above equilibrium with initial upward velocity of 2 ft/s. Assume w=1. Write in form y=Asin(x+b). Solve for A, x, and b.
A meter stick of total length l is pivoted a distance d from one end on a friction-less bearing. The stick is suspended so that it becomes a pendulum. This is called a "physical" pendulum because the mass is distributed over the body of the stick. Assume the total mass is m and the mass density of the stick is uniform. The acceleration of gravity is g. Find T and V as functions of generalized coordinate θ and velocity ˙θ. Do this by considering the stick to be divided into infinitesimal parts of length dl and integrating to find the total kinetic and potential energy. Set up the Lagrangian and find the equation of motion.
