Pressure is defined as force acting normally on unit area of the surface. SI unit of pressure is N/m2 also called pascal (Pa), Pressure is a scalar quantity. Some application of the co
Buoyant Force: When a body is immersed party or wholly in a liquid, a force acts on the body by the liquid in the upward direction. This force is called Buoyant force or force of buoyancy or upthr
Cohesive Force: The force of attraction between the molecules of same substance is called cohesive force. Cohesive force is maximum in solids. This is why solids have a fixed shape. Cohesive force is
Viscous force: The force which opposes the relative motion between different layers of liquid or gases is called viscous force. Viscosity: Viscosity is the property of a liquid by virtue of
Elasticity: Elasticity is the property of material of a body by virtue of which the body acquires its original shape and size after the removal of deforming force. Elastic Limit: Elastic limi
