Fluid Statics
Pressure at a Depth, Pascal's Principle
Many of the empirical observation within the field of fluid mechanics lead to equations or laws that are dependent on the mass of the fluid or object being observed. Often times we cannot directly measure the mass but know information about the volume of the fluid or object. Thus we can use the material property called mass density to determine the mass of a given volume of material.
Hydraulics, Buoyancy
In this section we will explore Archimedes principle which relates an upward force acting on an object that is fully or partially submerged within a fluid to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces. We will also build upon our understanding of density, pressure, and hydrostatics to quantify the buoyant force.
