1. The document defines fluid as any substance that can flow and take the shape of its container. It then discusses various fluid properties such as density, specific weight, specific volume, and viscosity.
2. It introduces the basics of fluid mechanics including hydrodynamics, aerodynamics, and different types of fluid flow. The laws of conservation of mass, momentum, and energy as they apply to fluid mechanics are also covered.
3. Various fluid properties are defined including density, specific weight, specific volume, relative density, vapor pressure, and surface tension. Dimensional analysis and units used in fluid mechanics are also introduced.
