1. Fluid Pressure and Its Measurement
  • Pascal’s Law: Pressure applied anywhere in a confined, stationary fluid acts perpendicular to all surfaces and is transmitted undiminished in every direction.
  • Hydrostatic Equation: The pressure (P) within an incompressible liquid increases linearly with its depth (d) due to gravity (g) and the fluid’s mass density (ρ):
    \(P=\rho \cdot g\cdot d\)
  • Measurement: Includes mathematical proofs behind the mechanics of barometers and multi-fluid manometers.
2. Resultant Pressure on Surfaces
  • Total Pressure Force: Methods to compute the integrated force exerted by a static fluid against flat, curved, or inclined vertical walls (such as dams or underwater gates).
  • Center of Pressure: Calculating the precise coordinate point on a submerged surface where the resultant fluid force effectively acts.
3. Buoyancy and Floating Bodies (Featured on Cover)
  • Archimedes’ Principle: An object fully or partially submerged in a fluid experiences a vertical upward buoyant force equivalent to the total weight of the fluid it displaces.
  • Equilibrium of Floating Bodies: Analysis of the three physical states depicted on the book cover:
    • Stable Equilibrium: The body returns to its original posture after a minor tilt.
    • Unstable Equilibrium: A minor tilt creates an overturning moment that makes the body capsize.
    • Neutral Equilibrium: The body remains static in its new position after being tilted.

  • Metacentre: Determining the stability of marine structures (like ship hulls) by evaluating the metacentric height (GM). 
4. Equilibrium of Gases
  • Atmospheric Pressure: Variations in pressure across compressible gas layers at varying heights.
  • Boyle’s Law Application: Analyzing volume and pressure adjustments for trapped air masses within fluids under constant temperature conditions.
