Sir Isaac Newton told us about gravity and gave us a simple elegant equation to calculate it. The force of gravity is proportional to _____ of two objects and inversely proportion to their _______.

Daniel Bernoulli told us about the physics of fluids and described it mathematically telling us that [density x velocity2/2) + pressure = constant] which means fluid velocity is inversely related to its pressure.
