🧄Fluid Mechanics Integrals for Mass and Motion
The solutions demonstrate how fundamental physical quantities in a continuous fluid are determined by integrating their respective densities over a given volume V. In all cases, the mass density is crucial as it scales the quantity per unit mass to the quantity per unit volume, . The total kinetic energy is a scalar, found by integrating the kinetic energy density . In contrast, both the total momentum and total angular momentum are vector quantities. Total momentum is the integral of the linear momentum density . Total angular momentum, which must be defined relative to a specific reference point , is the integral of the angular momentum density .
