Ice-berg. Pressure = Force/Area
Floating of man on water.
Balloon rising. Or Force = Pressure Area
U = V g
and V = mass of the fluid displaced
Hence U= mg
Fluid dynamics is the study of how fluids behave when they're in motion.
Fluids can flow steadily, or be turbulent. In steady flow, the fluid passing a
given point maintains a steady velocity. For turbulent flow, the speed and or
the direction of the flow vary. In a fluid flow, the motion can be represented
with streamlines showing the direction the fluid flows in different areas. The
density of the streamlines increases as the velocity increases.
Laminar and turbulent flow Note- There may be situations where one type of flow changes to another,
such as when a laminar air flow passes around an obstacle and becomes
Fluids moving through the pipes or around obstacles can flow in different ways turbulent.
The viscosity of most of the liquids decreases with temperature. Ex: hot oil
flows more easily than cold oil.
Terminal velocity in terms of stokes law
Note: When the velocity of flow of a liquid is greater than the critical value, the
Consider a small steel ball moving through a fluid
flow of the liquid becomes disorderly and zig-zag called turbulent flow.
