First sentence: The physical quantities encountered in fluid mechanics can be divided into three classes: (a) scalars, such as pressure, density, viscosity, temperature, length, mass, volume, and time; (b) vectors, such as velocity, acceleration, displacement, linear momentum, and force; and (c) tensors, such as stress, rate of strain, and vorticity tensors.
