The purpose behind this lab was to utilize Bernoulli’s Principle to estimate behavior of fluids when put under pressure. This was tested with a hydraulic lift made with syringes and rubber tubing, measuring the force applied on one side of the lift to push the fluid through the system and into the other syringe with a mass on top of it. Two different fluids, water and canola oil, were tested with 200 and 400 gram masses. From the experiment, it was found that canola oil needed significantly more force than the water to move the fluid the same distance. It was concluded that the data from the experiment wasn’t accurate due to multiple causes of error.
