1. BASICS OF HYDRAULICS
7. IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL FORCE EXERTED
ON A SURFACE WE NEED TO KNOW THE PRESSURE OR
FORCE PER UNIT AREA.
PRESSURE = FORCE FORCE IN ? KILOGRAMS ( Kg )
AREA AREA IN ? SQ. CM ( Cm2 )
PRESSURE IN ? KILOGRAM / SQ.CM
(Kg / Cm2 )
P = F
A
FORCE = PRESSURE x AREA
THE ATMOSPHERIC AIR EXERTS UNIFORM PRESSURE
ALL ROUND. THIS PRESSURE IS APPROX. 1 Kg / Cm2 AND
IS DENOTED AS 1 BAR ( BAROMETER )
PRESSURE
8. PASCALS LAW PRESSURE APPLIED ON A
CONFINED FLUID
IS TRANSMITTED
? UNDIMINISHED
? IN ALL DIRECTIONS
? ACTS WITH EQUAL FORCE ON EQUAL AREAS AND
? AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THEM FRENCH SCIENTIST
PASCAL DISCOVERED
THIS LAW IN THE
