[[Hydrodynamica]] was published in 1738, by Daniel Bernoulli. In this book Bernoulli presented the earliest adequate theory of motion of an incompressible fluid in tubes (vessels) and fluid outflow through orifices, introducing the notion of the hydro-dynamic pressure. However, the treatise is not restricted to theoretical hydraulics. In the subsequent sections, he opens up new branches of physics and mechanics. | [[Hydrodynamica]] was published in 1738, by Daniel Bernoulli.

Bernoulli preferred to use this principle not in its traditional form, received hostility by Newtonians, but in Christiaan Huygens formulation that Bernoulli named the principle of equality between the actual descent and potential ascent: ‘If any number of weights begin to move in any way by the force of their own gravity, the velocities of the individual weights will be everywhere such that the products of the squares of these velocities multiplied by the appropriate masses, gathered together, are the bodies descends, multiplied by the masses of all of them’. |
