FLUID MECHANICS
Hydraulics — a branch of science deals with the mechanical properties of liquids, as water and their application in
engineering
Hydrostaties —a branch of physics which deals with Muids at rest.
Hydrodynamics or Fluid Dynamics
~ branch of mechanics which deals with uids in motion
Fluids ~ are substances capable of flowing and having particle that easily move and change their relative direction
without separation of mass. Liquid and gas es are classified as fluids.

Atmospheric Pressure (Py) ~is the pressure of the earth's atmosphere, the pressure atthe bottom of this
sea of air in which we live. This pressure varies with weather changes and with elevation. Normal atmospheric
pressure at sea level (an average value) is | atmosphere (atm) defined to be exactly 101,325 Pa.
