Fluid
A rectangle that behaves like water: light bodies float, heavy ones sink, motion is slowed by viscosity.
How to add
In the left Instruments and experiments panel choose Liquid, or enable "This rectangle is a liquid" on any rectangle.
Properties
- Density
- Liquid density. Water is 1.
- Viscosity
- Resistance to motion of bodies inside the liquid.
Tips
- A body sinks if its average density is above the liquid density and floats if it is below. Body density is mass ÷ area ÷ 100 kg/m².
- To make a boat float, give it a small mass and a wide area.
