This lecture covers the concept of surface force in fluid statics, including the demonstration of Archimedes' push with a balance, the flotation of denser bodies, and the van der Waals force. It also discusses the equilibrium of fluids under constant acceleration and the determination of free surface functions. Various equivalent solutions for isobaric surfaces are presented.
