Whats Pascals law
When pressure is applied from an outside source to a contained fluid the force is distributed equally thru all parts of the fluid
Deffine fluid
Liquid or gas
What are the 2 types of flow, an example of each and its definition
Laminar (Smooth pattern) ex: blood flow in arteries
Turbulent (Irregular flow pattern) ex: white river rafting
define pressure
force per unit area
deffine weight and mass, what are their diffrence
MASS: ammount of matter in an object
Weight: Force of gravity acting on an object
Diffrent: Mass stays the same based on location (earth, moon) but weight doesnt
Deffine bouyancy
upward force fluid excerts on a object, determines if float or sinks
Deffine Compressdibility
What do pneumatic systems use, what do hydrolics
P-Gas H-liquid
What does the buoyant force need to be to the mass for it to be a boat
NEEDS TO DISPLACE MORE WATER THAN ITS MASS FOR IT TO BE A BOAT
What does a closed system mean, are pneumatics and hydraulics a closed system
It means that nothing can go out or come in, yes they are a closed system
What’s the difference between cohesion and adhesion
COHESION: Atraction between particles in same substance
Adhesion: Atraction of particles of one substance to another
Whats atmospheric pressure
Force atmosphere exerts on a unit of a substance area
is hydraulic or pneumatic stronger, why?
Hydraulics is stronger, its because the fluids are less compressible making their be more pressure it can handle heavier loads
Is hydraulics or pneumatic cleaner? why?
Pneumatic, air spills arnt harmful, Oil are
Pneumatic or hydraulic is faster? why?
Pneumatics, bcuz air flow rate is faster
Which is smaller and easier? how?
Pneumatics are easier, These systems have fewer moving parts and can be easily controlled through levers or push buttons.
What system is more efficent, high power?
Hydraulics, can generate large forces, making it ideal for heavy machinary
what has more control hydraulics or pneumatic
Hydraulics, smooth and acurate movement, great for industrial and automotives apllication
what is faster and light weight and cheeper, hydraulic or pneumatic
Pneumatic
NEEDS LOADS OF POWER
HYDRAULIC
NEEDS TO BE FAST LIGHT AND CLEAN
PNEUMATIC
KEY IDEA OF PRESSURE
PRESURE INSIDE CONTAINER PUSHES OUT, OUTSIDE CONTAINER PUSHES IN, IF EQUAL IT STAYS THE SAME
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO CHIPS IN A MOUNTAIN
EXPAND
IS ON A MOUNTAIN A HIGHER OR LOWER OUTSIDE PRESSURE
LOWER
