Mechanical Properties of Fluids
Dams hold back tonnes of water, ships float, and planes lift. Chapter 9, Mechanical Properties of Fluids, of the NCERT Physics textbook for Class 11 explains why. You will study pressure with depth, Pascal's law with hydraulic machines, and Archimedes' principle with floatation. Streamline flow brings Bernoulli's principle with its applications to venturimeters and lift, while viscosity, Stokes' law and terminal velocity describe real flow. Surface tension, drops, bubbles and capillary rise complete a chapter close to daily life.
