What causes things to sink?
If their density, or weight per unit volume, is greater than that of the fluid density, they will sink
What is the relationship between density and volume and buoyancy?
Density = mass / volume. An object will float if it has less density than the fluid in which it is placed. The buoyant force is equal to the volume (this may be the submerged part of the volume) times the density of the displaced fluid.
What causes the pressure exeted by a fluid?
The weight of the fluid. Pressure = force / area.
How does Archimedes principle relate the buoyant force acting on an object and the volume of the fluid displaced by the object?
The buoyancy force is equal to the WEIGHT of the volume of fluid displaced by the object.
How does a fluid-filled thermometer works?
As the temperature of a fluid increases, its volume increases, and as the temperature decreases, its volume decreases. Since the liquid in a thermometer is in a closed container, the fluid rises when the temperature increases and lowers when the temperature decreases.
What is the Nanda nursing diagnosis of volume depletion?

What is a nursing diagnosis for hyponatremia?

Who is at risk deficient fluid volume?
Definition: Decreased intravascular, interstitial, and/or intracellular fluid. This refers to dehydration, water loss alone without change in sodiumFluid volume deficit, or hypovolemia, occurs from a loss of body fluid or the shift of fluids into the third space, or from a reduced fluid intake. Common sources for fluid loss are the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, polyuria, and increased perspiration.See related links.
Is cholelithiasis a nursing diagnosis?
Pain related to Biliary spasm, Risk for fluid volume deficit and electrolyte imbalance related to Nausea and vomiting
What are the Nursing diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy?
The primary nursing diagnosis is "fluid volume deficit"because of the hemorrage. The secondary nursing diagnosis could be- "pain, anxiety or anticipatory grieving at the loss of the fetus".
What does displaced fluid mean?
As a Nurse this makes me think of fluid shifts in the body. There are many causes for "displaced fluid" or fluid shifting. Ask your doctor.
What is fluid saturation of reservior?
It is the ratio between the volume of the fluid and the the volume of the pores
If you heat up a fluid what happens to the volume?
The volume will increase as the fluid is warmed up.
What causes third spacing?
Third-spacing refers to a situation in which fluid shifts out of the blood into a body cavity or tissue where it is no longer available as ciculating fluid. Examples include peritonitis, the inflammation and infection of the peritoneal membranes, and burns, in which extensive inflammation of the skin and underlying tissues causes fluid to shift out of the blood, causing edema. The result of of this shift is a fluid deficit in the vascular compartment (hypervolemia) and a fluid excess in interstitial space. Until this cause is removed, fluid remains in the "third-space"--in the body but is not a functional part of the circulating fluids.
