Hydrostatic pressure via density and height¶
Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at any point of time due to the force of gravity.
Conditions:
The fluid is in statical equilibrium.
The only force acting on the fluid is the force of gravity.
The fluid is subjected to the gravity force of Earth.
