Hydrostatic Pressure

Hydrostatic Pressure

### Formula

$$P=h\rho g$$

### Absolute Pressure

$$P_{absolute}=P_{atm}+h\rho g$$

### Terminologies

- h → Depth of liquid.

- ρ → Density of liquid.

- g → Acceleration due to gravity.

### SI Unit

$$Pa$$

### Conditions / Special Cases

Pressure depends only on depth, not container shape.

### Usage

- Used in liquid pressure problems.
