Hydrostatics

Hydrostatics is a branch of fluid mechanics that deals with the study of fluids at rest and the pressure they exert on objects immersed in them. It focuses on the principles of hydrostatic equilibrium and the behavior of fluids under the influence of gravity.

Examples

1. In hydrostatics, the pressure exerted by a fluid is directly proportional to its depth.
2. The principle of buoyancy is a fundamental concept studied in hydrostatics.
3. By applying the principles of hydrostatics, engineers can design sturdy underwater structures.
