Kepler's three laws describe how planetary bodies orbit the Sun.
They describe how
(1) (The Law of Ellipses)
planets move in elliptical orbits with the Sun as a focus,
- the shape of the orbit of the planets are ellipse.
Fluid Mechanics
The study of fluid behaviour (liquids, gases, blood, and plasmas) at rest and in motion is known as fluid
mechanics. Fluid mechanics has numerous applications in mechanical and chemical engineering, as well
as biological and astrophysical systems.

Archimedes' principle,
-named after an inventor and a mathematician who lived in ancient Greece, states that the
buoyant force on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid that is displaced by the
object. Buoyancy is the ability of an to float in water or air.
The Archimedes principle states that the upward buoyancy force exerted on a
body partially or completely immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body
displaces and acts in an upward direction in the center of the mass of the displaced fluid. The
Archimedes principle is a fundamental law of physics for fluid mechanics. It was formulated by
Archimedes of Syracuse.
push = density of fluid * gravity acceleration * volume of object.
Bernoulli’s Principle
Summary
Pascal’s law states that a change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid
is transmitted equally throughout the fluid. The ability of fluids to transmit pressure
in this way can be very useful—from getting toothpaste out of a tube to applying
the brakes on a car.
Archimedes’ determined that an object displaces the same volume of fluid as
its own volume.
・ According to Archimedes’ law, the buoyant force acting on an object equals
the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.
・
The shape of an object may affect how much fluid it displaces and therefore
the buoyant force acting on it. This explains why one object may sink while another
object with the same weight but a different shape may float.
Bernoulli’s law states that the pressure of a moving fluid such as air is less
when the fluid is moving faster. Bernoulli’s law explains how wings of airplanes
and birds create lift and allow them to fly.
