Home > Hydrostatic pressure

Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid due to its weight. The buoyancy force on a body fully immersed in a static fluid is attributable to the pressure, summed ( integrated) over the body's surface. The pressure is isotropic in that case - it acts in all directions equally. That is not true in the case of fluid flow.

Applications

Plant cell stability.

Hydrostatic shockHydrostatic shock is the effect commonly believed to be caused by a high velocity object entering a body, such as a bullet fired from a weapon. The shock is described in the following way—the object will cause ordinary damage by the actual penetration, bu	Hydrostatic equilibriumHydrostatic equilibrium occurs when compression due to gravity is balanced by outward pressure.

Testing is very important because such containers can explode if they fail when containing compressed gas. Hydrostatic te

Hydrostatic skeletons are primarily found in soft-bodied invertebrates such as such as earthworms and jellyfish.	HydrostaticsHydrostatics also known as fluid statics, is the study of fluids at rest. The characteristic of any fluid at rest is when a force is exerted on any particle of the fluid is the same in any direction. If the force is unequal the fluid will move in the dire
