Fluid statics is the branch of fluid mechanics that deals with fluids at rest or in equilibrium. It focuses on the study of pressure distribution, buoyancy, and hydrostatic forces exerted on submerged or floating bodies.
- is the pressure at a certain depth.
- is the pressure at the fluid’s surface or a reference point.
- is the density of the fluid.
- is the acceleration due to gravity.
- is the depth or height of the fluid column.
