  1. 10-5 Measurement of Pressure;Gauges and the Barometer Ptot= Po + rgh Gauges and measuring devices that measure pressure often compare the pressure of a contained space to that of the atmosphere. See page 280 diagrams A mercury barometer uses the height of a column of mercury to measure atmospheric pressure. A manometer does much the same, but with a sealed container for vapor pressure.

  2. rgh=(13.6 x 103 kg/m3 ) (9.80 m/s2 )(1.00x10-3 m) • …so 1mm Hg = 133 N/m2 • 1 torr = 1 mmHg (Evangelista Torriceli1608-1647)

  3. 10-6 Buoyancy and Archimedes's Principle • The story of Archimedes…. • Meanwhile, back in physics… • Fb = rfgV • Archimedes’ principle…the buoyant force on a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by that object. • See example 10-5 and Holt example 9- • See example 10-6 and 10-9 Giancoli.

  4. Homework • Giancoli p 304 pr#12-#15 and #21-#24 due Monday BOP
