Q-6. What is fluid dynamics?
Ans. It deals with the motion of bodies in liquids and gases.
Q-7. What is geometry?
Ans. It is a branch of mathematics, concerned with the properties of space, usually in terms of plane (two dimensional) and solid (three dimensional) figures.
Q-8. What do we study in trigonometry?
Ans. Trigonometry is concerned with the triangle measurement. It makes use of the ratios of the sides of the triangle. It is of practical importance in navigating, surveying and simple harmonic motion in physics.
