Properties of Solids & Liquids connects to:
- Units & Dimensions (ME-01): All moduli [ ], viscosity [ ], surface tension [ ]. Dimensional analysis used in every derivation.
- Laws of Motion / Newton's Laws (ME-02): Terminal velocity uses force balance — weight = drag + buoyancy. Pascal's law is Newton's 3rd law in a fluid context.
- Work, Energy & Power (ME-03): Work done in stretching a wire = ½ × stress × strain × volume. Work done blowing a bubble = S × (2 surfaces). Bernoulli's equation is energy conservation per unit volume.
- Rotational Motion / Moment of Inertia (ME-05): Deformation of rotating solid discs uses elastic moduli in advanced problems.
- Thermodynamics (ME-09): Thermal expansion (β = 3α), Fourier's conduction law, and Stefan-Boltzmann radiation link directly. Specific heat and calorimetry build on Fourier's law.
- Waves & Sound (ME-11): Speed of sound in a medium = √(B/ρ) — uses Bulk modulus. Speed of sound in solids uses Young's modulus = √(Y/ρ).
- Kinetic Theory of Gases (ME-10): Viscosity of gases arises from molecular momentum transfer, connecting to thermal motion and mean free path.
