Hydrostatic Pressure

Sponsored Links

Hydrostatic pressure in a liquid can determined using the following equation:

p = h ρ g    (1)

where

p = pressure (N/m², Pa)

h = depth at which the pressure is measured (m)

ρ = density of liquid (kg/m³)

g = the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s²)

Hydrostatic pressure in a water column (density 1000 kg/m³) is indicated below:
