CO2 molecule Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule. The C-O bonds act

like springs. This molecule can vibrate such that the oxygen atoms move symmetrically in and out, while the carbon atom is at rest. The frequency of this vibration is observed to be 2.83x1013 Hz. – What is the spring constant of the C-O bond?– In which other way can the molecule vibrate and at what

frequency?– If the amplitude is the same, in which mode is the energy of the

molecule higher?

Driven Harmonic Oscillator What happens if you have an oscillator, such as a mass

on a spring, where an external force is acting on the system?– Example: Motion of a building or bridge during an earthquake

Essentially all objects have one or more “natural frequencies” that they will oscillate at if they are initially displaced from equilibrium– Example: mass on a spring has a natural frequency given by

If an oscillating external force is applied with angular frequency close to the natural frequency 0, the results can be dramatic

Driven Harmonic Oscillator To get motion, use Newton’s 2nd law:

Suppose the external force is sinusoidal:

Eventually, the object’s motion will oscillate with frequency w since that’s the frequency of the applied force

Driven Harmonic Oscillator Example: Mass on spring

– Notice how amplitude and phase change as the frequency of the external force crosses the natural frequency

Example: Vibrations of a solid object– Solid objects typically have one or more natural frequencies that

they oscillate at– If the damping is small, large oscillations occur when driven at

these natural frequencies– These vibrations can be a considerable source of stress on the

object!

Oscillations Summary We get periodic motion when force acts to push object

back towards equilibrium position Many problems exhibit simple harmonic motion

Energy exchanged between kinetic and potential energy, total mechanical energy unchanged for undamped oscillations

Correspondence between simple harmonic motion and uniform circular motion

Amplitude of oscillations decays with a damping force Driven oscillations exhibit a “resonance” at the natural

frequency

Fluids

What is a fluid?– A substance that flows– Examples include liquid, gas, plasma, etc– A simple fluid can withstand pressure but not shear

Density – Density– Unit: kg/m3

• Examples: density of water 1000 kg/m3 ; air 1.21 kg/m3

A material’s specific gravity is the ratio of the density of the material to the density of water at 4°C. – What is special about water at 4°C?

• Water is most dense at that temperature.– Aluminum has a specific gravity of 2.7 – it is 2.7 times more denser

than water at 4°C.

Pressure Pressure

– Unit: pascal (Pa)=N/m2 • Examples: 1 atm=1.01x105 Pa=760 torr=14.7 lb/in2

• Torricelli (torr) is defined as the pressure of mm Hg. Blood pressure: 70/120 torr

At any point in a fluid at rest, the pressure is the same in all directions. – If this were not true there would be a net force on the fluid and it

could not be at rest.

The force due to fluid pressure acts perpendicular to any surface. – Else there would be a force component along the surface which

would accelerate the fluid.

Atmospheric pressure

At atmospheric pressure, every square meter has a force of 100,000 N exerted on it, coming from air molecules bouncing off it!

Why don’t we, and other things, collapse because of this pressure?

We have an internal pressure of 1 atmosphere. Objects like tables do not collapse because forces on

top surfaces are balanced by forces on bottom surfaces, etc.

Fluid-Statics Static equilibrium

A simpler expression

– Where p0 is the pressure at the surface, and h is depth of the liquid

The pressure at any point in a fluid is determined by the density of the fluid and the depth. It does not depend on any horizontal dimension of the fluid or its container. It also does not depend on the shape of the container.

Measuring pressure The relationship between pressure and

depth is exploited in manometers (or barometers) that measure pressure.

A standard barometer is a tube with one end sealed. – The sealed end is close to zero pressure,

while the other end is open to the atmosphere.

– The pressure difference between the two ends of the tube can maintain a column of fluid in the tube, with the height of the column being proportional to the pressure difference.

– pressure at bottom of column = atmospheric pressure

Mercury/Water barometer Mercury: atmospheric pressure pushes Hg column up unit

Water:

– Thus atmospheric pressure pushes the water column up by– 101.3 kPa/9.8 Pa/mm = 10.3 m

pressure absolute pressure = gauge pressure + atmospheric pressure

Blood pressure A typical reading for blood pressure is 120 over 80. What do the two numbers represent? What units are they in?

120 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury) is a typical systolic pressure, the pressure when the heart contracts.

80 mm Hg is a typical diastolic pressure, the blood pressure when the heart relaxes after a contraction.

760 mm Hg is typical atmospheric pressure. The blood pressure readings represent gauge pressure, not absolute pressure – they tell us how much above atmospheric pressure the blood pressure is.

Water pressure At the surface of a body of water, the pressure you

experience is atmospheric pressure. Estimate how deep you have to dive to experience a pressure of 2 atmospheres.

h works out to 10 m. Every 10 m down in water increases the pressure by 1 atmosphere.

The Buoyant Force

With fluids, we bring in a new force.

The buoyant force is generally an upward force exerted by a fluid on an object that is either fully or partly immersed in that fluid.

Let’s survey your initial ideas about the buoyant force.

The Buoyant Force A wooden block with a weight of 100 N floats exactly

50% submerged in a particular fluid. The upward buoyant force exerted on the block by the fluid …

has a magnitude of 100 N has a magnitude of 50 N depends on the density of the fluid depends on the density of the block depends on both the density of the fluid and the

density of the block

Learning by Analogy

Our 100 N block is at rest on a flat table. What is the normal force exerted on the block by the table?

To answer this, we apply Newton’s Second Law. There is no acceleration, so the forces balance.

40

Apply this to Buoyant force Apply the same method when the block floats in the

fluid. What is the magnitude of the buoyant force acting on

the block?

To answer this, we apply Newton’s Second Law. There is no acceleration, so the forces balance.

41

Reviewing the normal force We stack a 50-newton weight on top of the 100 N block.

What is the normal force exerted on the block by the table?

To answer this, we apply Newton’s Second Law. There is no acceleration, so the forces balance. The block presses down farther into the table (this is hard to see).

Even though we are dealing with a new topic, fluids, we can still apply Newton’s second law to find the buoyant force.

Three Beakers The wooden block, with a weight of 100 N, floats in all

The buoyant force is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced by the block. If the buoyant force is 40 N when 80% of the block is submerged, when the buoyant force is 10 N we must have 20% of the block submerged.

Archimedes’ Principle

While it is true that the buoyant force acting on an object is proportional to the volume of fluid displaced by that object.

But, we can say more than that. The buoyant force acting on an object is equal to the weight of fluid displaced by that object. This is Archimedes’ Principle.

A Floating Object When an object floats in a fluid, the downward force of

gravity acting on the object is balanced by the upward buoyant force.

Looking at the fraction of the object submerged in the fluid tells us how the density of the object compares to that of the fluid.

Beaker on a Balance A beaker of water sits on a scale. If you dip your little

finger into the water, what happens to the scale reading? Assume that no water spills from the beaker in this process.

1. The scale reading goes up 2. The scale reading goes down 3. The scale reading stays the same

Three Blocks We have three cubes of identical volume but different density. We

also have a container of fluid. The density of Cube A is less than the density of the fluid; the density of Cube B is exactly equal to the density of the fluid; and the density of Cube C is greater than the density of the fluid. When these objects are all completely submerged in the fluid, as shown, which cube displaces the largest volume of fluid?

1. Cube A 2. Cube B 3. Cube C 4. The cubes all displace equal volumes of fluid

Three Blocks

Each cube displaces a volume of fluid equal to its own volume, and the cube volumes are equal so the volumes of fluid displaced are all equal.

Three Blocks

Each cube displaces an equal volume of the same fluid, so the buoyant force is the same on each.

A boat carrying a large boulder is floating in a lake. The boulder is thrown overboard and sinks. What happens to the water level in the lake (relative to the shore)?

(1) it sinks

(2) it rises

(3) it remains the same

Cartesian diver– The diver is an object in a sealed container of water. – Air in the diver makes it buoyant enough to barely float at the

water's surface. – When the container is squeezed, the pressure compresses the

air and reduces its volume. This permits more water to enter the diver, resulting in it being less buoyant and sinking.

The origin of the buoyant force The net upward buoyant force is the vector sum of the

various forces from the fluid pressure.

Because the fluid pressure increases with depth, the upward force on the bottom surface is larger than the downward force on the upper surface of the immersed object.

This is for a fully immersed object. For a floating object, h is the height below the water level, so we get:

When the object goes deeper If we displace the object deeper into the fluid, what

happens to the buoyant force acting on it? Assume the fluid density is the same at all depths. The buoyant force:

1. increases2. decreases3. stays the same

When the object goes deeper

If the fluid density does not change with depth, all the forces increase by the same amount, leaving the buoyant force unchanged!

Archimedes’ Principle Buoyant force

Objects that float – Dry wood, ice, some plastics, oil, wax (candles)

…– Boats made of woods, ceramic, steel, or any

other materials, as long as they are hollow enough

Objects that sink– Rocks, sands, clay, metal, etc. – Any material with density larger than water

Apparent weight (example: submerged object weighs less– Apparent weight=actual weight - buoyant force– What is your apparent weight in water? (no

more than a few pounds!)

produce some interesting effects. Demonstrations of this include:
