State of matter between a solid and a gas. A liquid forms a level surface and assumes the shape of its container.

Unlike a gas, a liquid is difficult to compress since pressure applied at one point is equally transmitted throughout (Pascal's principle). Hydraulics makes use of this property. + prikaži više
