Hydrostatic Law
- According to Hydrostatic Law, the rate of increase of pressure in a vertical direction is equal to the weight density of the fluid at that point when the fluid is stationary.
- The pressure at any point in a fluid at rest is obtained by the Hydrostatic Law which states that the rate of increase of pressure in a vertically downward direction must be equal to the specific weight of the fluid at that point.
\(\frac{{dP}}{{dh}} = w\) for downward direction
\(\frac{{dP}}{{dh}} = - w\) in upward direction
Hence, The rate of increase of pressure in a vertically downward direction is equal to the weight density of a fluid.
