Hydrostatic Pressure

Hydrostatic pressure, abbreviated as HP, is the pressure a fluid exerts on an immersed object.

 

Hydrostatic Pressure formula

\(\large{ HP = \rho\; g\; h }\)

Where:

\(\large{ HP }\) = hydrostatic pressure

\(\large{ \rho }\) (Greek symbol rho) = density of fluid

\(\large{ g }\) = gravitational acceleration

\(\large{ h }\) = height of fluid
