From (1) & (2), we get, V' = V, ie., there is no change in the volume of the contents of the beaker. Hence,
level of water will not change.
Let us consider an ice cube containing a lead in it floating on water in a beaker. As ice melts, lead sinks to
the bottom and the level of water in the glass fall. Let M = mass of ice cube, m = mass of lead piece.
Now, weight of floating body is equal to buoyant force exerted by the liquid

Br Fluid dynamics® : The study of fluids in motion is called fluid dynamics
© When fluid is in motion, its flow is of one ‘of two main types. The flow is said to be steady or laminar, if
‘each particle of the fluid follows a smooth path so that the paths of different particles never cross each
other, Therefore, in steady flow, the velocity ‘of the fluid at any point remains constant in time.
‘e Above. certain critical speed, fluid flow becomes turbulent. Turbulent flow is an irregular flow characterized
by small, whiripootke regions.
© Continuity equation for flow of liquids through pipes : .
Ay = Avy
{A = cross-sectional area ; v = velocity of liquid)
‘© The product Av, which has the dimensions of volume per time, is called the volume flow rate.
> The continuity equation for fluid, says that the product of the area and the fluid speed at all points along
the pipe isa constant. Therefore, the speed is high where the pipe is narrow and low where the pipe is.
wide.
> Anozzle or your thumb over the garden hose allows youtto project the water farther. By reducing the
area through which the water flows, you increase its speed. Therefore, you project the water from the
hose with a high initial velocity, resulting in a large value of the range.

From the above equation, we can say, if pressure increases, than fluid velocity (or speed) decreases and
vice-versa,
Bernoulli's principle : The pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid’s velocity increases.

“The top moves down if you blow into the tunnel. This is because the moving air inside has a lower pressure
than the still air outside, and so the high pressure above the top pushes it down.

Viscosity : It is the property of a fluid by virtue of which it offers opposition to the movement of one layer of
fluid over an adjacent layer.
Consider two plates placed a small distance Y apart. The space between them is filled with fluid. The lower plate
is at rest while the upper one is moving parallel to it with a velocity V by applying a force F. Area of contact of
the moving plate with the fluid is A. Particles of the fluid in contact with plates adhere to them. The velocity
varies uniformaly from ‘zero’ at lower plate (at rest) to V at upper plate (in motion).
