pressure

equals the force exerted on a Surface divided by the total area over which is the force is exerted

Pascle

the unit of pressure

fluid

A material that can easily flow

the buoyant laws

Water and other fluids exerting in upward Force

Archimedes' Principle

The buoyant force acting on a submerged object is equal to the weight of the fluid the object displays

Density

a substance is mass per unit volume

Hydraulic action

uses liquid to transmit pressure and a confined liquid

Bernoulli's Principle

the faster a fluid moves the less pressure that fluid exerts

lift

an upward Force
