Stress, Strain & Quicksand: Crash Course Engineering #12

The video introduces fluid mechanics, explaining its significance in understanding how fluids like air and water interact with objects. It covers the concepts of systems and surroundings, emphasizing the importance of considering external factors in engineering. The video delves into stress, strain, and viscosity, explaining how these factors affect fluid movement. It also discusses Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, highlighting their differences. The work of Osborne Reynolds is explored, focusing on his experiments with fluid flow and the development of the Reynolds number, which helps determine the type of flow in a fluid system.
