the displaced fluid. ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE
68. Other term for matter (like liquid and gas) that flows. FLUID
69. This kind of tide occurs when the sun and the moon are on opposite sides of the
earth or when they are on the same side. SPRING TIDE

internal forces act. STRESS

COMPRESSION STRESS OR COMPRESSION
81. Point at which the object will not go back to its original length when it is stretched
more. ELASTIC LIMIT
82. Horizontal structure that is held up by two vertical posts. BEAM
