Pressure, Gravity and Moments

        Help!  

Term
Definition
Density   The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume. D= M/V  
🗑
Unit of Density   Kg m-3 kilograms per cubic metre  
🗑
Pressure   Pressure is the force per unit area. P= F/A  
🗑
Unit of pressure   Pascal or 1 Newton per square metre  
🗑
Archimedes Principle   When an object is partially or completely immersed in a fluid it experiences an upthrus t equal in magnitude to the weight of the fluid displaced.  
🗑
The law of flotation   The weight of a floating body is equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.  
🗑
Boyle's Law   At a constant temperature the volume of a fixed mass of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.  
🗑
Newton's law of Universal Gravitation   Any two point masses in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. F= Gm1m2/d2  
🗑
Moment of a force   The moment of a force about an axis is equal to the magnitude of the force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the axis to the line of action of the force. M= F x d  
🗑
Unit of moment   Nm Newton metre  
🗑
If a body is in equilibrium:   The vector sum of the forces in any direction is 0. The sum of the moments about any point is 0  
🗑
Couple   Two parallel forces with the same magnitude acting in opposite directions.  
🗑
Moment of a couple (torque)   T = Fd  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
