Hydrostatic Equilibrium Equation

Introduction to Hydrostatic Equilibrium Equation

The hydrostatic equilibrium equation describes the pressure distribution in a static fluid due to the force of gravity. In this formula, F represents the pressure, ρ represents the density of the fluid, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height of the fluid column.

Parameter usage:

• ρ = density of the fluid
• g = acceleration due to gravity
• h = height of the fluid column

Output:

• F = pressure due to hydrostatic equilibrium

Data validation

The numbers should be greater than or equal to zero.

Summary

This formula helps in understanding the pressure distribution in a static fluid under the influence of gravity and is commonly used in fluid dynamics and hydrodynamics.
