Lecture

Fluid Static Equilibrium

Description

This lecture covers the concept of fluid static equilibrium, focusing on the forces at play, such as pressure force and gravity force. It explains the conditions for a fluid to be in static equilibrium, the behavior of incompressible fluids, and the principles of Archimedes' thrust. The lecture also delves into practical applications, like pumping water from wells and measuring atmospheric pressure. Additionally, it discusses the stability of submerged and floating bodies, highlighting the importance of the center of gravity and the center of buoyancy. Various experiments are presented to demonstrate the principles discussed.
