Description

density r = m/V Ratio of an object's mass to its volume
specific gravity SG = robject/rwater Ratio of the density of the substance to the density of pure water
pressure P = F/A Ratio of the force acting perpendicular to a surface to the surface area (A)
fluid pressure P = r g h Gauge pressure as a function of depth (h)
Archimedes' Principle FB = mfg = rfgVf Buoyant force acting on an object placed in a fluid
equation of continuity rAv = constant Mass of fluid moving past any point is constant
volume flow rate R = vA Volume of fluid that passes a point per unit time
Bernoulli's equation P = (1/2)rv2 + rgh Equation for the pressure at any point in a moving fluid
