Objectives:

After completing this module, students will understand the relationship between force and pressure.  Students will know how pressure changes with depth.  They will be able to calculate the buoyant force on objects using Archimedes' principle.  Students will be able to analyze fluid flow using Bernoulli's equation, and they will be able to distinguish between laminar and turbulent flow.
