AbsolutePressure P = Pa + gh
Archimedes Principle B = f Vg

WhereB = boyant force

W = weight of displaced fluid
= density of fluid

Fluid Dynamics
Equation of Continunity

is constant for incompressible fluid

A1V1 = A2V2

Flow rate = Q = AV

Bernoullies Equation
P1 + 12 V12 + gh1 = P2 + 12 V22 + gh2

Similar to Conservation of Energy

KEi + PEi = KE f + PE f
