Question 1.
What does Bernoulli's equation relate?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how energy conservation applies to fluids.
Question 2.
Define static pressure in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens when fluid is at rest.
3Question 3.
What does dynamic pressure depend upon?
- Water depth
- Wave motion
- Fluid density
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens during wave action.
4Question 4.
True or False: Static pressure is a result of fluid motion.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about when water is still or moving.
Question 5.
A wave with an amplitude of 1.5 meters is traveling through water at a depth of 5 meters. Calculate the dynamic pressure at this depth if the water density is 1000 kg/m³.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how amplitude and depth interact in the equation.
Question 6.
If the pressure response factor (Kp) for a wave is determined to be 1.5, what does this indicate about the wave height compared to static pressure?
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on what a higher Kp means in terms of energy and wave strength.
