Introduction To Hydrostatics Pressure in Fluids Pressure at a points and Pressure Variations (Pascals Law) Pressure measurements Hydrostatics Forces on Submerged Plane Surface Pressure Distribution in Fluids
CHAPTER 2: HYDROSTATICS
WHAT HYDROSTATICS?
Defined as the balance of forces in a fluids at rest (fluid static) free from any shear stresses and forces due to static pressure.
Pressure in Fluid
Hydrostatic equation or pressure in fluid:
P gh
Pressure will increase if the water depth increases (from the water surface)
Pressure at a Point
Pressure at any point in a fluid is the same in all direction (known as Pascal Law) It has magnitude but not at specific direction P1 = P2 = P3 = P
Fluid at rest is independent of the shape or cross section of the container. Pressure is the same at all points on a horizontal plane Pressure changes with vertical distance.
Pressure Measurement
Barometer Piezometer Manometer - Simple - Differential, right U-tube - Differential, inverted U-tube
Barometer
Device to measure atmospheric pressure By inverting mercury tube into mercury container that is open to the atmosphere
Patm m gh
Piezometer
To measure a pressure in flowing liquid using piezometer tube Principle; The liquid rises up the piezometer tube until atmospheric pressure and the weight of the column of liquid in the tube generate a pressure equal the pressure in the pipe/conduit. The pressure at the center line of the pipe flow is given as:
P gh
Pressure can be estimated by measuring fluid elevation Commonly used to measure small or moderate pressure P1 = P2 = gh
Submerged plate/plane surface will having force exerted from the liquid The force on each element area normal to the surface e.g.: Dam, storage tank, ship and etc. When analyzing forces on submerged surfaces, the atmospheric pressure can be subtracted.

Pressure Distribution
Pressure Distribution
Pressure is calculated per unit width only x h / 2 P gh2 Rectangular distribution P 1/ 2 gh2 Triangular distribution x h / 3
