{{id}} {{{paragraph}}}
PRESSURE AND FLUID STATICSThis chapter deals with forces applied by fluids at rest or in rigid-bodymotion. The FLUID property responsible for those forces is PRESSURE ,which is a normal force exerted by a FLUID per unit area. We start thischapter with a detailed discussion of PRESSURE , including absoluteand gagepressures, the PRESSURE at a point, the variation of PRESSURE with depthin agravitational field, the manometer, the barometer, and PRESSURE measure-ment devices. This is followed by a discussion of the hydrostatic forcesapplied on submerged bodies with plane or curved surfaces. We then con-sider the buoyant forceapplied by fluids on submerged or floating bodies,and discuss the stabilityof such bodies.
