Chapter Eight: Fluid Mechanics

8.1 Fluids and buoyant force 
 
 
8.2 Fluid pressure
 
Fluids (part 1): What a fluid is. Difference between liquids and gasses (both fluids).
 
...It's like that pop can thing, but bigger!
 
Fluids (part 2): Pressure and Pascal's Principal.
 
Fluids (part 3): Pressure in a fluid at depth
 
Fluids (part 4): Using our understanding of fluid pressure to figure out the height of a column of mercury.
 
Fluids (part 5): Introduction to Archimedes' principle and buoyant force.
 
Fluids (part 6): A couple of problems involving Archimedes' principle and buoyant forces.
 
Note: Always be careful when you hear explanations of airplane wings, and their shape. If flight was dependant entirely on their shape, how come they can fly upside down? Never stop thinking. :)
