Buoyancy and Pressure

Fluid Continuity

for any incompressible fluid, the mass-flow rate must remain constant frome any cross-sectional area of a pipe to another

Bernoulli’s Principle

conservation of energy

Fluid

nonsolid structure of matter to which atoms or molecules can move freely

Density

a concentration of matter

Pressure

defined as force per unit area

Static Fluid

pressure exerted by a stationary fluid

Pascal’s Principle

Pressure is transmitted undiminished through a static fluid

Buoyancy/Archimedies Principle

A force exerted by a fluid on an object, opposing the objects weight
