Subject outcome

Subject outcome 5.2: State, evaluate and apply properties of fluids on everyday life and industrial contexts

Learning outcomes

  • Define and apply hydrostatic pressure and its relation to depth and density of a liquid.
  • Define, give examples of, and use Pascal’s principle.
  • Describe fluid flow and use a Venturi meter to show the relationship between pressure, cross-section of the pipe changes speed of fluid flow.

Unit 1 outcomes

By the end of this unit you will be able to:

  • Define, describe and calculate hydrostatic pressure in relation to the density and depth of a liquid.
  • Use Pascal’s principle and state common uses of this principle.
  • Show the relationship between pressure and the speed of fluid flow using a Venturi meter.
