    and floating bodies, fluid masses subjected to uniform
    accelerations, measurement of pressure.
    INTRODUCTION
    • Fluid mechanics is defined as the science that deals with the
    behavior of fluids at rest (fluid statics) or in motion (fluid
    dynamics), and the interaction of fluids with solids or other fluids
    at the boundaries.
    • Fluid mechanics is also referred to as fluid dynamics by
    considering fluids at rest as a special case of motion with zero
    velocity
    • Fluid mechanics itself is also divided into several categories.
    • The study of the motion of fluids that can be approximated as
    incompressible (such as liquids, especially water, and gases at low
    speeds) is usually referred to as hydrodynamics.
    • A subcategory of hydrodynamics is hydraulics, which deals with
    liquid flows in pipes and open channels
    • Gas dynamics deals with the flow of fluids that undergo significant
    density changes, such as the flow of gases through nozzles at high
    speeds.
    • The category aerodynamics deals with the flow of gases (especially
    air) over bodies such as aircraft, rockets, and automobiles at high or
    low speeds
    • A substance in the liquid or gas phase is referred to as a
    fluid
    • Distinction between a solid and a fluid is made on the basis
    of the substance’s ability to resist an applied shear (or
    tangential) stress that tends to change its shape.
    • A solid can resist an applied shear stress by deforming,
    whereas a fluid deforms continuously under the influence
    of a shear stress, no matter how small.
    • In solids, stress is proportional to strain, but in fluids,
    stress is proportional to strain rate
