Question 2.
What is shear stress in fluids at rest?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the motion of particles in a fluid at rest.
3Question 3.
What state does hydrostatics focus on?
- Fluid in motion

Show hintHide hint
Think about the meaning of statics.
4Question 4.
True or false: Pascal's law is only applicable to compressible fluids.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
What kinds of fluids does our discussion apply to?
Question 5.
A tapered tank filled with water has a known height of 10 meters. Apply Pascal's law to determine the pressure at the bottom of the tank and compare it to a flat tank of equal volume.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how height directly influences pressure in both tank geometries.
Question 6.
