Define conservation of momentum.
Think about how a ball keeps rolling unless acted on by a force.
What is a control volume?
It's like a box you imagine around a section of fluid.
What does the conservation of momentum principle state?
Think about rolling objects.
True or False: Body forces are always attributed to external influences on a fluid.
Consider whether they exist without an external cause.
You have a tank filled with water that drains from a spout. Calculate the changes in momentum as water exits the spout.
Consider how fast the water is flowing out.
