All Fluids Concepts
Density
Density is the amount of mass packed into a given volume. In physics, it helps explain why some materials float, sink, or create larger pressure.
Pressure
Pressure is the amount of force acting on each unit of area.
Buoyancy
Buoyancy is the upward force a fluid exerts on an object that is partly or fully immersed in it.
Archimedes' Principle
Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force on an immersed object equals the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.
