Because a fluid such as water is nearly incompressible, its density can be taken (assumed) to be: constant unknown variable insignificant
Density is defined as\[\rho = {m \over V}\]Incompressible means we cannot change the volume, therefore, what can you infer about its density.
its a variable...
Variable means change. Incompressible means NO change. Which of those words means no change?
constant
Exactly. The density is constant for a fluid that is incompressible.
this is the simplest of your questions if i do say so myself, water is a liquid therefore imcompressible so its density remains a cosntant goes for all liquids at the their liquid temperatures :)
Liquids are not always incompressible. In fact, no liquid is truly incompressible. We can make this assumption because the bulk modulus of water is very high. Mythias. Please be careful how you answer questions. I have seen numerous wrong answers from you tonight.
