Nature of fluids A fluid is a substance that does not permanently resist distortion. During the change in shape,shear stresses exist,the magnitudes of which depend upon the viscosity of the fluid and the rate of sliding

Fluids also can be divided as Incompressible-the density changes only slightly with moderate changes in temperature and pressure Compressible-the changes in density caused by temperature and pressure are significant (Pressure concept:the pressure at any point in the fluid is independent of direction)

Hydrostatic Equilibrium There is a vertical column of fluid shown in Fig.2.1 Three vertical forces are acting on this volume: (1)the force from pressure p acting in an upward direction which is os; (2)the force from pressure p+dp acting in a downward direction which is (p+dp)S; (3)the force of gravity acting downward,which is Figure2.1 Hydrostatic equilibrium gpsdz
