Forces and Pressure in Fluids Quiz

Water is a common example of a fluid.

Buoyancy in fluids is caused by the gravitational force acting on the fluid.

When the area over which a fluid is exerted decreases, the pressure increases.

The SI unit of force is Newton (N).

Pascal is the SI unit of pressure.

Pascal's principle states that pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted undiminished to every part of the fluid and to the walls of its container.

Increasing the density of a fluid leads to an increase in pressure.

Fluid viscosity is affected by temperature.

The force exerted by a fluid on a surface is calculated using the formula: Force = Pressure / Area.

Pressure is calculated using the formula: Pressure = Force / Area.

Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the velocity of a fluid leads to a decrease in pressure.

The equation for hydrostatic pressure is: P = ρgh.

The functioning of hydraulic systems is based on Pascal's principle.

Laminar flow occurs at low velocities.
