In our day-to-day lifestyle, we see various forms of matter like solid - materials and elements, liquid - water and acids, gas - air and LPG. But all matter usage comes from an understanding of the microscopic level of solid, liquid and gas. In the 20th century, microscopic understanding of matter was established.
What is elasticity
When a body is stretched, work is done against the restoring force. This work is stored in the body in the form of elastic energy. In structural engineering elastic behaviour is one such property of which design of the beams of a building.
Pascal's law and its application
Pascal's law states that, If the pressure in a liquid is changed at a particular point, the change is transmitted to the entire liquid without being diminished in magnitude. We use The application of Pascal's law to make a Hydraulic lift.

When an object is partially or fully immersed in a liquid, it displaces a certain amount of liquid. This displaced liquid exerts an upward force on the body. That force is called Buoyancy force. The law of flotation is well-known in that boats and ships move on the upper level of the sea.
What is Viscosity?
The term viscosity is defined as "The property of a fluid to oppose the relative motion between its layers" The highly viscous liquid is used to dampen the motion of some machine. The viscous liquid is also used as brake oil in hydraulic brakes.
What is surface tension?
It is one of the properties of liquids which liquids also have minimum molecules that liquids tend to occupy minimum surfaces that is called surface tension. There are many applications of surface tension which is used to make desirable liquids such as room cleaner and waterproof materials.
