Fluids
A fluid flows through a pipe with varying cross-sectional areas. At point A, the pressure is and the velocity is . At point B, the pressure is and the velocity is . If no external work is done on the fluid between points A and B, and assuming the fluid is incompressible and inviscid, what is the w...

Consider a system of interacting fluid particles in a viscous fluid. If the net external force on a specific particle is zero, but the particle is still moving, what can be said about the forces from surrounding particles?
The forces from surrounding particles must also be zero.
The forces from surrounding particles must sum to zero, counteracting the viscous forces.
The forces from surrounding particles must be constant and equal.
The forces from surrounding particles are irrelevant to the particle's motion.
