  2. Archimedes' principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedes'_principle

    Suppose that, when the rock is lowered into the water, it displaces water of weight 3 newtons. The force it then exerts on the string from which it hangs would be 10 newtons minus the 3 newtons of buoyant force: 10 − 3 = 7 newtons. Buoyancy reduces the apparent weight of objects that have sunk completely to the sea-floor.

    The tensors and can be expressed by 3×3 matrices, relative to any chosen coordinate system. The fluid is said to be Newtonian if these matrices are related by the equation τ = μ ( ∇ v ) {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\tau }}={\boldsymbol {\mu }}(\nabla v)} where μ {\displaystyle \mu } is a fixed 3×3×3×3 fourth order tensor that does not ...

    These include the SI unit cubic metre (m 3) and its divisions, in particular the cubic decimeter, more commonly called the litre (1 dm 3 = 1 L = 0.001 m 3), and the cubic centimetre, also called millilitre (1 cm 3 = 1 mL = 0.001 L = 10 −6 m 3). [23] The volume of a quantity of liquid is fixed by its temperature and pressure. Liquids generally ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Specific_weight

    The specific weight, also known as the unit weight (symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma), is a volume-specific quantity defined as the weight W divided by the volume V of a material: = / Equivalently, it may also be formulated as the product of density, ρ, and gravity acceleration, g: = Its unit of measurement in the International System of Units (SI) is newton per cubic metre (N/m 3), with ...

  9. Fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_dynamics

    The conservation laws may be applied to a region of the flow called a control volume. A control volume is a discrete volume in space through which fluid is assumed to flow. The integral formulations of the conservation laws are used to describe the change of mass, momentum, or energy within the control volume.
