Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanical Properties of Solids and Liquids

Understanding how physical matter deforms under stress and flows under pressure is fundamental to engineering, physics, and everyday technology. This course breaks down the complex mechanics of solids and liquids into clear, accessible concepts. You will transition from basic physical definitions to solving practical problems with confidence. What you will learn: - Understand stress, strain, and Hooke's law in solid materials. - Analyze elastic moduli including Young's modulus, shear modulus, and bulk modulus. - Explore fluid pressure, Pascal's law, and Archimedes' principle. - Master the fundamentals of fluid dynamics including Bernoulli's equation and viscosity. - Study surface tension, capillary action, and modern applications of fluid mechanics. - Practice solving standard physical equations step-by-step. The course begins with foundational definitions of matter, stress, and forces, before moving progressively into fluid mechanics and dynamic properties. This text-only program is designed for beginners, high school physics students, and self-directed learners with no prior advanced physics background.
