• Color, shape, mass, and volume

• Conductivity, hardness, buoyancy, and viscosity

Explain the concept of fluid statics.

• Fluid statics is the study of moving fluids and their dynamics.

• Fluid statics focuses on the chemical properties of fluids.

• Fluid statics examines the behavior of gases under pressure.

• Fluid statics is the study of fluids at rest and the forces acting on them.

How is pressure measured in fluids?

• Pressure is determined by the temperature of the fluid.

• Pressure is measured using thermometers and flow meters.

• Pressure in fluids is calculated as F = ma.

• Pressure in fluids is measured using manometers and pressure gauges, calculated as P = ρgh.

What is buoyancy and how does it affect flotation?

• Buoyancy is the upward force in a fluid that affects flotation by determining whether an object will float or sink based on its weight relative to the weight of the fluid displaced.

• Buoyancy is the force that pulls objects down in a fluid.

• Buoyancy only applies to solid objects, not liquids.

• Buoyancy is the weight of an object in water.

Differentiate between Eulerian and Lagrangian approaches.

• Eulerian approach follows individual particles; Lagrangian approach observes fixed points in space.

• Eulerian approach observes fixed points in space; Lagrangian approach follows individual particles.

• Eulerian approach focuses on particle trajectories; Lagrangian approach analyzes flow fields.

• Eulerian approach is used for time-dependent systems; Lagrangian approach is for steady-state systems.

Define the concept of control volume in fluid mechanics.

• A control volume is an imaginary line that separates different fluids in a system.

• A control volume is a fixed point in a fluid where no analysis can be performed.

• A control volume is a defined region in space used to analyze fluid behavior by applying conservation principles.

• A control volume is a type of fluid that flows continuously without any boundaries.

What is Reynold’s transportation theorem?

• Reynold's transportation theorem describes the conservation of energy in a fluid.

• Reynold's transportation theorem is a principle of thermodynamics related to heat transfer.

• Reynold's transportation theorem states that mass cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system.
