CHAPTER 8 : MECHANICS OF FLUIDS
Newtonian Mechanics can be extended to any macroscopic system of particles except when the gravitational field is not very strong, and therefore the behavior of liquids and gases (fluids) should be amenable to analysis in terms of Newtonian Mechanics. 8.1 Hydrostatic pressure in a fluid Pressure in general is defined as force per unit normal area. To derive the expression for hydrostatic pressure, i.e., pressure when the fluid as a bulk system is at rest, consider an imaginary cylinder of fluid in the suspended state in the fluid itself.
