Mechanical properties of fluids
Across
- 4. States that any object fully or partially submerged in a fluid is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.
- 5. The action or property of molecules sticking together, being mutually attractive.
- 6. A hypothetical fluid with no viscosity and no resistance to shear stress.
- 7. A type of fluid flow where every particle follows a smooth path.
- 9. The force exerted by a fluid on an object moving through it due to viscosity.
- 11. A law stating that the force of viscosity on a small sphere moving through a viscous fluid is proportional to the sphere's velocity and radius.
- 14. The SI unit of pressure, equivalent to one newton per square meter.
- 17. An instrument measuring atmospheric pressure.
- 18. The constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance prevents further acceleration.
- 22. States that a change in pressure at any point in an incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid.
- 24. The measure of the relative volume change of a fluid as a response to a pressure change.
- 25. The property of a fluid that resists the force tending to cause the fluid to flow.
- 26. The force exerted on an object that is partly or wholly immersed in a fluid.
- 27. The ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of external forces.
- 28. The elastic tendency of a fluid surface which makes it acquire the least surface area possible.
- 29. The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature.
- 30. The force exerted per unit area.
Down
- 1. The study of fluids and the forces on them.
- 2. The pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid.
- 3. The ratio of the viscosity of a fluid to its density.
- 8. States that the pressure in a fluid decreases as the fluid's velocity increases.
- 10. The pressure of a fluid in motion, associated with its velocity.
- 12. A flow regime characterized by high momentum diffusion and low momentum convection.

- 15. The mass per unit volume of a substance.
- 16. The pressure exerted by a fluid at rest.
- 19. The branch of science concerned with forces acting on or exerted by fluids in motion.
- 20. Substances that can flow, such as liquids and gases.
- 21. A dimensionless number used to predict flow patterns in different fluid flow situations.
- 23. The tendency of dissimilar particles or surfaces to cling to one another.
