Key Words / FlashCards
| Key Words | Definitions (pref. in our own words) |
|---|---|
| Fluid | In physics, a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress. |
| Pressure | Pressure on a body is the force exerted on it per unit area |
| Pascal’s Law | Pascal's law or the principle of transmission of fluid-pressure is a principle in fluid mechanics that states that pressure exerted anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted equally in all directions throughout the fluid such that the pressure ratio (initial difference) remains the same. |
