Properties of Solids and Liquids: notes and previous year questions

Free notes for every topic in properties of solids and liquids, with the key formulas and real JEE and NEET questions solved step by step.

Stress and StrainElasticity, stress F/A and its kinds, strain, Hooke's law, the stress–strain curve and the energy stored in a stretch.
Elastic ModuliHow stiff a material is: Young's modulus, the bulk modulus, the shear modulus, Poisson's ratio and how they are linked.
Fluid Pressure and Pascal's LawPressure P = F/A, pressure at a depth, the hydrostatic paradox, barometers and manometers, Pascal's law and the hydraulic lift, buoyancy and floating.
Viscosity and Stokes' LawThe friction inside a fluid: F = ηA dv/dy, streamline and turbulent flow, Stokes' law, terminal velocity and flow through pipes.
Bernoulli's Theorem and ApplicationsThe equation of continuity, Bernoulli's equation, faster flow and lower pressure, Torricelli's law, the Venturi meter, lift and spinning balls.
Surface Tension and CapillarityThe stretchy skin on a liquid: γ as force per length and energy per area, pressure inside drops and bubbles, the angle of contact and capillary rise.
