Chapter 9 – Fluids
What determines whether something floats or sinks in a fluid? How can an object sink in one liquid, and yet float in a different liquid? How can a huge ocean liner float, when its mass is so huge, and being made from raw materials that would sink in water? Our study of fluids begins with us addressing questions such as these.
