Equations - Fluids
These are the equations that you should know. Updated January 23rd.
This list is now complete.
Flow Rate (speed) |
= Distance Travelled Time Measured in m/s (meters per second) |
Flow Rate (quantity) |
= Volume of Fluid Passing a Specific Point Time Measured in ml/s (millilitres per second) |
Density |
= Mass Volume Measured in g/ml or g/cm3 (grams per milliliter or grams per centimeter cubed) |
Force of Gravity |
= Mass x 9.8 N/kg Measured in N (Newtons) |
Archimedes' Principle | The buoyant force acting on an object equals the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. |
Pressure |
= Force Area Measured in Pa (Pascals) |
Pascal's Law |
Pressure exerted on a fluid is transferred uniformly throughout. |
