What Is Hydrostatic Pressure?
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a still liquid depending on the depth. As the depth increases, the pressure increases.
How is it calculated?
How Is It Calculated?
P = ρ × g × h
ρ: liquid density, g: 9,81 m/s², h: depth.
- Enter the density and the depth.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does pressure depend on the shape of the container?
No; hydrostatic pressure depends only on the depth and the liquid density, not on the shape of the container.
