I. RELATIVE EQUILIBRIUM OF
FLUIDS
 II. FLUID DYNAMICS
Relative Equilibrium of Fluid
- deals with fluid masses excited by
constant acceleration
- that each fluid particle is in equilibrium
and at rest relative to every other
particle in the fluid
- the containing vessel is neither in
equilibrium nor at rest relative to the
earth.
