This lecture covers the fundamentals of fluid mechanics, focusing on hydrostatics and pressure field equations. Starting with the definition of fluids and viscosity, it progresses to the study of forces on submerged surfaces and Archimedes' principle. The lecture delves into the detailed equations for the pressure field, emphasizing the neglect of shearing faces. It concludes with an exploration of incompressible fluids and the impact of constant gravity on pressure distribution.
