t = 2*L/C

What is meant by pressure in fluids?

Fluid pressure is a measurement of the force per unit area. Fluid pressure can be caused by gravity, acceleration, or forces in a closed container. Since a fluid has no definite shape, its pressure applies in all directions.

What is retarding force?

Retardation is the act or result of delaying and the forces that resist relative motion like air resistance or friction are called retarding forces.
