This document discusses fluid mechanics and fluid properties. It defines a fluid as a nonsolid state of matter that can flow and change shape. Fluids have density, and buoyant force is defined as the upward force exerted by a liquid on an object immersed in it. Archimedes' principle states that the buoyant force equals the weight of fluid displaced. Pressure is also discussed, along with Pascal's principle about pressure being transmitted equally in fluids.
