10: Fluids
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
- 10.1: Introduction
- There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.
- 10.2: Density and Pressure
- Pressure is scalar quantity which is defined as force per unit area where the force acts in a direction perpendicular to the surface.
- 10.3: Archimedes’ Principle
- The buoyant force on an object can be calculated using the Archimedes principle.
- 10.4: Cohesion and Adhesion
- Attractive forces between molecules cause effects such as surface tension and capillary action.
- 10.5: Fluids in Motion
- The flow rate of a liquid is how much liquid passes through an area in a given time.
- 10.6: Deformation of Solids
- Length is one of the basic dimensions used to measure an object.
