Also, be able to clearly label and explain a description of Bernoulli’s, Pascal’s and Archimedes’
principles. You can use your own example if you wish or use the examples I used in class such as:
Bernoulli’s – a curving baseball, the Bernoulli spitter, the blowdryer and ping pong ball
Archimedes’ – a ship, a sinking rock
Pascal’s – the Pascal diver (test tube in a bottle), a hydraulic jack
