Proof that fluid exerts pressure |
|
Answer» Fluids are made of a large number of very small particles, much too small to see. These particles are in constant, rapid motion. They bump into one another. They bump into the walls of any container that holds them. They bump into objects in the fluid. As the particles of a fluid bump into an object in the fluid, they apply forces to the object. The forces, acting over the object’s surface, exert pressure on the object. When the pressure in a fluid increases, the vparticles bump together more frequently. This increases the pressure on objects in the fluid. The pressure a fluid exerts on an object in the fluid is applied in all directions. That is because the particles that make up the fluid can move in any direction. These particles exert forces as they bump into objects in the fluid. The PICTURE shows how water exerts pressure on a diver who is underwater. Notice that the arrows point in DIFFERENT directions. That is because the water is pressing all around the diver, not just from above.TO PROVE THIS, Take an empty plastic BOTTLE or a cylindrical container. You can take a used plastic bottle. Drill four holes all around near the BOTTOM of the bottle. Make sure that the holes are at the same height from the bottom. Now fill the bottle with water.� You will observe that liquid coming out of the holes FALL at the same distance.Explanation:PLEASE MARK MY ANSWER AS A BRAINLIEST ANSWER... PLEASEFOLLOW ME |
