Ratational Motion and Mechanical Properties of Fluids – Physics Unit 1 – Class 12 – Maharashtra Board

Ratational Motion and Mechanical Properties of Fluids – Unit I consists of two chapters:

1. Chapter 1 – Rotational Dynamics
2. Chapter 2 – Mechanical Properties of fluids

After studying the content, students would be able to

• Distinguish between centrifugal and centripetal forces.
• Visualize the concepts of moment of inertia of an object.
• Relate moment of inertia of a body with its angular momentum.
• Differentiate between transnational and rotational motions of rolling objects.
• Relate the pressure of a fluid to the depth below its surface.
• Explain the measurement of atmospheric pressure by using a barometer.
• Use Pascal’s law to explain the working of a hydraulic lift and hydraulic brakes.
• Relate the surface energy of a fluid with its surface tension.
• Distinguish between fluids which show capillary rise and fall.
• Identify processes in daily life where surface tension plays a major role.
• Explain the role of viscosity in everyday life.
• Differentiate between streamline flow and turbulent flow
