Chapter 3 Fluid Statics: Definitions Statics: ∑F = 0. In statics we have only pressure as surface force and weight as body force. Thus‚ when fluids are still‚ the pressure is balanced by the fluid weight. No relative motion between adjacent fluid layers. Shear stress is zero Only _______ can be acting on fluid surfaces Gravity force acts on the fluid (____ force) Applications: Pressure variation within a reservoir Forces on submerged surfaces Buoyant forces 9/4/2013 1 Pressure Pressure is defined
