Chapter\u201310: Mechanical Properties of Fluids<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Chapter 10 Mechanical Properties of Fluids : <\/strong>Pressure due to a fluid column; Pascal\u2019s law and its applications (hydraulic lift and hydraulic brakes), effect of gravity on fluid pressure.<\/p>\n

Viscosity, Stokes\u2019 law, terminal velocity, streamline and turbulent flow, critical velocity, Bernoulli\u2019s theorem and its applications.<\/p>\n

Surface energy and surface tension, angle of contact, excess of pressure across a curved surface, application of surface tension ideas to drops, bubbles and capillary rise.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The thrust acting on a body per unit area is called pressure\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Pressure is a scalar quantity because it is transmitted equally in all directions when force is applied, which shows that a definite direction is not associated with pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n
