#1
Front (Question)

Fluid

Back (Answer)

Solids are not, but gas and liquids are (anything that can change it’s shape according to its container)

#2
Front (Question)

Density

Back (Answer)

How much “stuff” is packed into a space. p=m/v Units: kg/m^3 but, this is not very helpful so we use smaller units like g/mL, g/cm^3 or kg/L

#3
Front (Question)

Density of pure water at 4C and 1 atm

Back (Answer)

1 g/mL or 1 g/cm^3 or 1 kg/L or 1000 kg/m^3

#4
Front (Question)

Specific gravity

Back (Answer)

Density of a liquid relative to water (a ratio of liquid:water) -unitless

#5
Front (Question)

Fluid pressure

Back (Answer)

Not limited to fluids

#6
Front (Question)

Units of pressure

Back (Answer)

P=F/A or N/m^2 which is also known as a pascal (pa)

#7
Front (Question)

The units of psi

Back (Answer)

lbs/in^2

#8
Front (Question)

1 atm

Back (Answer)

Standard atmosphere 101,000 pascals also =760 mmHg = 760 Torr= 14.7 psi = 1 bar (slightly less than an atm)

#9
Front (Question)

Hydrostatic pressure`

Back (Answer)

Psub = (rho)gh h=height g=gravity

#10
Front (Question)

Absolute pressure

Back (Answer)

P_abs=P_hydro + P_atm

#11
Front (Question)

Gauge pressure

Back (Answer)

-not standard pressure P_gauge = P_system - P_atm
