Mercury Barometer

Let’s see how Mercury Barometer expresses atmospheric pressure in terms of the length or height of the mercury column as a variant of the manometer.

Buoyancy & Buoyant force – Questions & answers

In this post, we publish a bundle of Questions and answers related to Buoyancy and Buoyant force. Why does a stone sink but a wood float? A stone is denser than water. This means, if you compare the mass of a stone to the mass of the same volume of water, the stone’s mass will […]

Difference between laminar and turbulent flow?

What is the difference between laminar and turbulent flow? The film of fluid that touches the container does not move because of friction with the container’s surface. But the fluid in the middle of the stream does. In laminar flow the transition from not moving to full-speed motion is continuous. Each thin film of water […]

Difference between hydraulics & pneumatics?

Hydraulics deals with the use of liquid in motion, usually in a device such as a machine. Oil is the most common liquid used in pumps, lifts, and shock absorbers. Whereas hydraulics uses liquids to achieve mechanical advantage, pneumatics uses compressed gas. Since gases can be compressed and stored under pressure, releasing compressed air can […]

Numerical problem based on Capillary Rise & Capillarity

Here, we will solve a Numerical problem based on Capillary Rise & Capillarity. Numerical assignment (on Capillary Rise & Capillarity) solved 1) A glass tube of radius 0.4 mm is dipped vertically in the water. Find up to what height, the water will rise in the capillary. If the tube is inclined at an angle […]

Difference between Cohesion and Adhesion & their importance

Cohesion refers to the attraction of molecules for other molecules of the same kind, but Adhesion is the attraction of molecules of one kind for molecules of a different kind. In this post, we will learn in detail what exactly Cohesion and Adhesion are, and this will help to understand the difference between them. To discuss these […]

Comparing viscosities of liquids using a viscometer

The viscosities of liquids can be compared by observing their rates of flow through a glass tube. A simple device called a Redwood viscometer can be adapted easily for the laboratory. Comparing viscosities using a viscometer A viscometer is shown in Figure 1. Using the apparatus in Figure 1, fill the funnel with liquid to […]

Solving Numerical problems on Archimedes’ Principle and Buoyancy

In this post, we will quickly revise Archimedes’ Principle and its legendary background. Then we will solve a few numerical problems in physics using this principle. Archimedes’ Principle and Buoyancy If an object is submerged in a liquid, the object displaces a volume of the liquid equal to the volume of the submerged object. There is […]

Converting L atm to Joule | Litre Atm to Joule

Here in this post, we will convert L atm to Joule. L atm is also known as Litre Atmosphere. L atm to Joule L atm is the product of 2 units and these 2 units are Litre (unit of volume) and Atmospheric pressure (or atmosphere which is a unit of pressure). L atm, hence, is […]

Numerical problem on car hydraulic braking – solving

In this post, we will solve a numerical problem based on the principle of a car hydraulic braking system. To solve this numerical, we will take the help of the concepts of the lever, and the pressure principle of Pascal. We will go through the problem statement first and then solve the numerical step-by-step. Numerical […]

How to solve Numerical problems on terminal velocity

In this post, we will see how to solve numerical problems on terminal velocity. We will discuss the concept in brief and then take sample problem/s and solve them using the appropriate formula of terminal velocity. Theory & formula to solve terminal velocity numerical The first numerical problem in this post is about a spherical […]

Deriving & Measuring viscosity using Stokes’ law

Here we will derive the formula of viscosity using Stoke’s law. We have already derived one expression of viscosity using the flow of a viscous fluid between two parallel plates. Now we derive a different equation of viscosity or coefficient of viscosity in terms of terminal velocity. When a sphere is released and allowed to […]

How to use Pascal’s law to explain Hydraulic car brakes?

Pascal’s Law states that any change in the pressure applied to a completely enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all parts of the fluid and the enclosing walls. Let’s see how Pascal’s principle is applied to design hydraulic car brakes. When the brake pedal is pushed, the piston in the master cylinder exerts a force […]

Determination of Density of a solid and a liquid

Determination of Density of a Solid by Using a Measuring Cylinder Dividing the mass of a solid by its volume gives its density. The mass of a solid can be determined accurately by using a physical balance. The volume of an irregular-shaped solid can be determined by using a measuring jar (cylinder). To measure the […]

Buoyant Force formula

In this post, our topic of discussion is the Buoyant Force formula. As we go through it here, we will use this formula to solve a sample numerical as well.

Buoyancy

In this post, we will study the concepts of Buoyancy. We will start with some common examples to understand the phenomenon, and then define it and its related terms like Buoyant force. We will also explain Buoyancy and Buoyant force and derive related formulas.

Density & Relative density

Density is the mass per unit volume. The unit of density in SI is Kg/meter3. The relative density or specific gravity of a substance is the ratio of its own density and the density of water. It’s a number only without any unit. What is the difference between density and relative density? Density is the […]
