Unit 8: Fluids
Density, pressure, buoyancy, and Bernoulli's equation

What this episode covers

This audio review walks through the four topics of Unit 8 — density and pressure, hydrostatic pressure at depth, buoyancy and Archimedes' principle, and finally fluid flow with continuity and Bernoulli's equation. You'll hear examples for each: pressure in a swimming pool, why a steel ship floats, and how an airplane wing produces lift.

It's about 10–15 minutes long, designed to fit a walk or a quick study break.
