Fluids are substances that can flow and take the shape of their container. They can be either liquids or gases.
Some examples of fluids include water, oil, air, and gasoline.
The study of fluids is called fluid mechanics.
Fluid mechanics is used in many real-world applications, such as designing airplanes, predicting weather patterns, and understanding blood flow in the human body.
The basic properties of fluids include density, viscosity, pressure, and flow rate. These properties affect how fluids behave and interact with their surroundings.
