This lecture introduces key concepts of fluid mechanics, focusing on forces in static and dynamic fluids, historical experiments on pressure differences, and the definition of fluids as substances that cannot resist shear forces. It covers the classification of solids, liquids, and gases based on their properties, mass densities of liquids, and the compressibility and viscosity of different types of fluids.
