Question

Pressure in fluids at rest

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

Pressure in fluids at rest is given by the hydrostatic pressure equation, which states that the pressure at any point in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid column directly above that point, divided by the cross-sectional area:

P = ρgh

Where:
- P is the pressure at a specific point in the fluid (in pascals or N/m^2)
- ρ is the density of the fluid (in kg/m^3)
- g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s^2)
- h is the height of the fluid column directly above the point (in meters)
