Elasticity and Fluid Mechanics

Ch a p te r Con te n ts
This module deals with
.... INTERATOMIC AND INTERMOLECULAR FORCE .......03
behaviour of fluids statics and
.... CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER ..................................03 dynamics. Fluids are gases and
liquids which can flow and take the
.... ELASTICITY .............................................................04 shape of container which holds
them. In fluid statics we will
.... STRESS – STRAIN GRAPHS .......................................05
consider the propertices of fluid at
.... FLUID STATIC .........................................................07
rest and laws that govern them. In
 PRESSURE MEASURING ..................................12 fluid dynamics, we will analyse
 FLUID SUBJECTED TO CONSTANT fluid flow using conservation of
ACCELERATION ...............................................18 energy and later arraive at some
 FORCES OF FLUID BOUNDARIES ....................19
interesting results using a kind of
dissispative force called viscous
.... FLUID DYNAMICS ....................................................20
 APPLICATION OF BERNOULLI’S PRINCIPLE ....23 forces. Some other properties of
liquid such as surface tension and
.... SURFACE TENSION .................................................25 capilarity, which are very common
are also described.
.... VISCOSITY ...............................................................30

This module also deals with the

.... SOLVED PROBLEMS elasitc nature of solids under the
 OBJECTIVE ..................................................... 34 action of compression tensile and
 SUBJECTIVE .................................................... 41 shearing force.

.... UNSOLVED PROBLEMS

 OBJECTIVE LEVEL I & II ................................ 53
 SUBJECTIVE C.B.S.E. LEVEL I ...................... 57
 SUBJECTIVE LEVEL II & III ........................... 59
 SUBJECTIVE IIT-JEE LEVEL ......................... 63
