- pressure
- the force applied to a unit area of surface
- Bernoulli's principle
- The rule that a stream of fast-moving fluid exerts less pressure than the surrounding fluid.
- float
- something that remains on the surface of a liquid
- density
- the amount per unit size
- Buoyant force
- weight of displaced water=volume of displaced water in liters x 10 n / liter
- Archimedes' Principle
- buoyant force acting on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displaces
- fluid
- a continuous amorphous substance that tends to flow and to conform to the outline of its container: a liquid or a gas
- Pascal's principle
- The rule that when force is applied to a confined fluid, the increase in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid.
- hydraulic_system
- a mechanism operated by the resistance offered or the pressure transmitted when a liquid is forced through a small opening or tube
- Pascal
- a programing language designed to teach programming through a top-down modular approach
- newton
- The unit we measure force in.
- hydraulics
- study of the mechanics of fluids
