  2. The pressure exerted by a static fluid depends only upon the depth of the fluid, the density of the fluid, and the acceleration of gravity. The pressure in a static fluid arises from the weight of the fluid and is given by the expression. P static fluid = ρgh where. ρ = m/V = fluid density.

    • Static Fluid. In 7A we learned that energy of a system is conserved when no heat enters or leaves the system or no work is done by or on the system.
    • Energy-Interaction Diagram for a Static Fluid. Energy conservation tells us that as we move vertically downward in a fluid at rest the gravitational potential energy density decreases so the pressure must increase by the same amount.
    • Piston Doing Work on a Fluid. The work done by an outside agent in moving the piston a distance \(dx\) down is given by: \[dW = Fdx = - PdV\]
    • Forces on an Element of Fluid. We will study forces in much more detail later in Chapter 6. The main idea to focus on here is that when a system is in equilibrium, such as a static fluid, all the forces acting on that system must be balanced.
  3. At any point within a static fluid, the pressure on all sides must be equal—otherwise, the fluid at that point would react to a net force and accelerate. The pressure at any point in a static fluid depends only on the depth at that point.

  4. At any point within a static fluid, the pressure on all sides must be equal—otherwise, the fluid at that point would react to a net force and accelerate. The pressure at any point in a static fluid depends only on the depth at that point.

  5. Atmospheric pressure is the magnitude of pressure in a system due to the atmosphere, such as the pressure exerted by air molecules (a static fluid ) on the surface of the earth at a given elevation. In most measurements and calculations, the atmospheric pressure is considered to be constant at 1 atm or 101,325 Pa, which is the atmospheric ...

  6. Static pressure is the pressure exerted by a fluid at rest, acting equally in all directions at a given point within the fluid. It is a fundamental concept in fluid dynamics, essential for understanding how fluids behave when not in motion.

  7. Static pressure does not vary with the motion of the fluid, meaning it's constant across a given horizontal plane in an incompressible fluid at rest. In a fluid at rest, static pressure increases with depth due to the weight of the fluid above it, leading to hydrostatic pressure principles.
