## Topic-Wise Extracted Content

### INTRODUCTION

Fluids, which include both liquids and gases, have the ability to flow, distinguishing them from solids. They do not have a definite shape of their own and can fill the entire volume of a container. Understanding their properties is essential as they mediate various processes in living organisms and the environment.

### PRESSURE

Pressure is defined as the force exerted per unit area. When an object is submerged in a fluid at rest, the fluid exerts a normal force on its surface, which can be measured using a pressure-measuring device. Pressure is a scalar quantity and is measured in Pascals (Pa). The concept of pressure is crucial for understanding fluids and their behaviors under different conditions.
