CBSE Class 9 - Science - Chapter 10: FLOTATION Thrust and Pressure, Pressure in Fluids, Buoyancy Fluid: Fluid is a substance that flows. For example, liquids and gases. They take the shape of container in which they are stored. The study of fluids at rest is known as hydrostatic or fluid static’s. The study of fluids in motion is termed as hydrodynamics. THRUST: The normal force acting on a unit surface area of the fluid is called thrust Density: The mass per unit volume of a substance is called density. D = mass /volume Þ Mass of substance = d x v ------------------------ (i) SI unit is kg/m 3 The density of water (1 g cm −3 ) PRESSURE IN A FLUID The pressure (P) is defined at the magnitude of the normal force acting on a unit surface area of the fluid. P = F/A . Hence pressure is in directly proportional to Area of contact. For example a nail or a knife have pointed and sharp edge to reduce area of contact to ap
