Overview
Fluids are substances that can flow and take the shape of their container. This includes both liquids and gases. Understanding fluids is essential because they surround us everywhere - from the air we breathe to the water we drink. The study of fluids helps us understand phenomena like why ships flo
Key Concepts
Thrust is the force acting perpendicular
Thrust is the force acting perpendicular to a surface (measured in Newtons). Pressure is the force per unit area: P = F/A. For the same force, pressur
Fluids (liquids and gases) exert pressure
Fluids (liquids and gases) exert pressure in all directions because their molecules move randomly in all directions. The pressure at any point in a fl
The Earth is surrounded by
The Earth is surrounded by an atmosphere (layer of air up to 300 km height). This air has weight and exerts pressure on everything - called atmospheri
Pascal's Law states that when external
Pascal's Law states that when external pressure is applied to an incompressible fluid, this pressure is transmitted uniformly throughout the fluid in
Density is mass per unit volume
Density is mass per unit volume (ρ = m/V), measured in kg/m³ or g/cm³. It indicates how tightly packed matter is in a substance. Relative density (als
Learning Objectives
